Florida intends to establish a competitive grant program with the purpose of enhancing energy security, advancing energy initiatives, maximizing benefits of energy efficiency, reducing energy cost, stimulating the economy, and creating and retaining jobs. Time is of the essence; therefore, the Program gives preference to activities that can be
started and completed expeditiously (within 9 months).
The state’s proposed grant distribution strategy will utilize a competitive approach to distribute approximately $1 million (Federal SEP $677,000 and SEP–ARRA $323,000) funds.
Applications are restricted to designated fiscally constrained Florida counties as defined by Chapter 218.67(1) the municipalities within those communities.
Please Note: Applicant's that were funded in Round 1 are ineligible for Round 2. Applicants who received an ineligible letter in round 1 may reapply submitting a new application.
