The Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy's (EERE's), State Energy Program (SEP), seeks applications to
advance policies, programs, and market strategies that accelerate job creation
and reduce energy bills while achieving energy and climate security for the nation.
This competitive Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) allows states to
compete for funding designed to meet EERE nationally focused initiatives for
the fundamental and permanent transformation of markets across all sectors of
the economy. Specifically, this FOA focuses on three areas of interest: Area of
Interest 1: Advancing Energy Efficiency in Public Facilities that will assist
states to develop holistic, whole-building, deep retrofit programs or
strategies across as broad a segment of the state?s public building portfolio
as possible to achieve significant energy and cost savings. Area of Interest 2:
Stimulating Energy Efficiency Action that will assist states in generating the
necessary policy and program frameworks to support investment in cost-effective
energy efficiency and establish or increase a statewide energy savings goal by
calendar year 2015. Area of Interest 3: Improving or Developing A Fee-Based
Self-Funded Public Facilities Energy Retrofit Program that will assist states
in developing/improving and implementing a comprehensive and well-designed
self-funded program which relies on a fee-for-services model that can
successfully be used to retrofit public facilities statewide across many
sectors (e.g., state buildings, municipal buildings, National Guard assets,
school districts, water and wastewater treatment facilities, street lighting,
etc.).
