The Bi-Partisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funded for only the second time in history, the Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program. Kentucky's allocation under the EECBG program is $2,237,940.
The purpose of the EECBG Program is to assist eligible state, local, and tribal governments in implementing strategies to:
Reduce fossil fuel emissions in a manner that is environmentally sustainable and, to the maximum extent practicable, maximizes benefits for local and regional communities;
Reduce the total energy use of the eligible entities;
Improve energy efficiency in the transportation sector, the building sector, and other appropriate sectors;
Build a clean and equitable energy economy that prioritizes disadvantaged communities and promotes equity and inclusion in workforce opportunities and deployment activities, consistent with the Justice40 Initiative.
The EECBG application closed on May 31, 2024. Selected proposals have been notified. A public announcement of the selected projects will be posted to this page in the coming weeks.
