Biden Admin Awards Over $26 Million in Clean Energy Grants to US Projects

Clean energy projects across the nation are about to receive a $26.9 million boost from the Biden Administration as part of the latest round of grants from a renewable energy program.

According to a May 1 press release from the Department of Energy, the funding consists of multiple grants that will go to nine states, 27 local governments, and one tribe.

All of the funding is provided through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG), which aims to assist state, local, and tribal governments with initiatives to lower fossil fuel emissions and energy use.

United States Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm claims the EECBG grants will help lower power and transition costs for communities across the country.

“Energy efficient upgrades are a surefire way to bring down costs and shore up resiliency for communities across the nation,” she said.

“President Biden’s Investing in America agenda is equipping local governments with funds to transform clean energy plans into real actions that deliver benefits in every corner of the country.”
