The [[United States Department of Energy]]'s '''State Energy Program''' ('''SEP''') provides [[Grant (money)|grant]]s to states and directs funding to state energy offices from technology programs in [[Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy]]. States use grants to address their energy priorities and program funding to adopt emerging renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/state_energy_program/ | title=State Energy Program | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091202144611/http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/state_energy_program/ | archive-date=2009-12-02}}</ref> Started in 2010, the program "is the only program administered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that provides cost-shared resources directly to the states for allocation by the governor-designated State Energy Office for use in energy efficiency and clean energy innovation, development, and demonstration activities.” | The [[United States Department of Energy]]'s '''State Energy Program''' ('''SEP''') provides [[Grant (money)|grant]]s to states and directs funding to state energy offices from technology programs in [[Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy]].
