How do I apply directly to DOE for SEP and Block Grants funding?
Only the designated state energy office (California Energy Commission) is eligible to apply to DOE for SEP funds. For California, only the Energy Commission and specified cities and counties (as listed in DOE’s Funding Opportunity Announcement) are eligible to apply to DOE for EECBG funds. The Energy Commission has released funding solicitations for eligible projects. These funding solicitations specify the types of entities are eligible to apply for funding. Businesses and non-profits organizations may apply directly to the DOE and the U.S Environmental Protection Agency for projects under the competitive energy- and climate change-related programs depending on eligibility requirements established by the federal agency. Information on these energy-related funding opportunities will be made available on www.energy.gov/recovery/ and the federal funding website at www.grants.gov.
