ACEEE to Assist Localities in Implementing $400 Million in Federally Funded Climate Initiatives

The U.S. Department of Energy has selected the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) to lead the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Blueprint Cohorts, a key technical assistance program offered to the nearly 2,700 state, Tribal, and local governments throughout the country eligible for EECBG funding. ACEEE, along with a team of partner organizations, will provide training and educational materials to build the capacity of local governments and Tribes as they implement EECBG-funded projects. The EECBG Program provides eligible communities $431 million in flexible federal funds to cut greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and grow renewable energy projects.
