The state is now accepting applications for $11 million in federal stimulus funds for combined heat and power projects which generate power and thermal energy from a single source, the first of several application periods to open under the Green Energy Works! Program.
Applications are due October 9.
All projects must create jobs, be able to start work within six months, and be completed within 24 months and before April 30, 2012.
Green Energy Works! will eventually provide a total of $52 million to Pennsylvania for projects to help increase energy efficiency, reduce reliance on foreign energy sources, improve service reliability, and reduce the impact of energy production on the environment. It will also fund future solar, wind and biogas projects.
Green Energy Works! is part of the federal funding that Pennsylvania will receive under the Recovery Act’s State Energy Program that will invest more than $99.6 million of federal funding to supplement the state’s Alternative Energy Investment Fund. That money is being used to provide loans, grants and tax credits for energy efficiency and conservation projects for homes and small businesses.
Guidelines for the program are available online.
Applications must be submitted via the online Environmental eGrants system.
