Goals

  • Reduce overall energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.Expansion depth limit exceeded
  • Enhance energy efficiency in public buildings and infrastructure.
  • Foster local job creation through energy efficiency projects.

Organization

The EECBG Program is managed by the Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) within the U.S. Department of Energy. The leadership position for this program is held by the Director of SCEP.

Partners

  • No specific partnerships are listed as the program directly funds eligible entities.

History

The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program was authorized by the **Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007** but was significantly funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009, with an initial allocation of $3.2 billion.Expansion depth limit exceeded After a period of inactivity, the program was revitalized in 2021 with new funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, emphasizing a focus on disadvantaged communities and broader eligibility criteria. Over time, EECBG has supported thousands of projects across the nation, from energy audits to renewable energy installations.

Funding

The program initially received $3.2 billion in 2009. With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, an additional $550 million was allocated to extend and expand the program.Expansion depth limit exceeded Funding is distributed as formula grants and competitive grants, with no specified end date, indicating a long-term commitment to energy efficiency.

Implementation

EECBG implements its goals through:

  • Formula grants to states, local governments, and Tribes based on population or energy use.
  • Competitive grants for innovative projects or underserved areas.
  • Technical assistance to help recipients plan and execute their energy projects.

The program does not have a defined end date, operating on a continuous basis unless funding is ceased.
