The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created dozens of new clean energy grant programs for which state, local, and tribal governments are eligible. Communities with a strong plan in place will be in a better position to compete.
Blueprint for energy planning is for:
- Governments that do not have an energy plan.
- Jurisdictions at the beginning of their clean energy journeys, yet to develop goals for climate, clean energy, decarbonization, or energy savings.
- Communities that could use a refresh of their energy strategies and/or seek more leadership, community engagement.
All EECBG Program award recipients are required to develop an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (EECS). The blueprint can help you create one.
