The
U.S. Department of Energy SEP Formula Grant provides funding and technical
assistance to states, territories, and the District of Columbia to enhance
energy security, advance state-led energy initiatives, and maximize the
benefits of decreasing energy waste.
Funding
for the program is allocated to states according to a formula written into the
federal formula grant regulations. In addition, SEP formula grant regulations
require that states provide a 20% match in funds for each year of the project
period. For the most recent project period, the Governor’s Office of Energy
(GOE) was awarded $455,460. The SEP formula grant is used to fund general GOE staff activities related to focus areas of renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric vehicles.
Periodically, GOE will have funding available to promote energy efficiency, renewable energy, electric vehicles and other energy programs and projects throughout Nevada. Funding opportunities will be announced through a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). If you are interested in being added to the service list for the next available NOFO, please e-mail info@energy.nv.gov.
