I have fielded a couple of questions recently about possible sources of revenue for retrofitting schools to cut down on utility costs. Included in Governor Bredesen's proposed budget is authorization for another round of Energy Efficient Schools Initiative grants and loans. This program is separate from Federal ARRA funding for energy efficiency improvements in government facilities that was available last year. The EESI program is funded from excess Tennessee lottery dollars and is designed to be a revolving program that can assist local school districts in improving the energy efficiency of K-12 school facilities through loans and grants.
For more information about the program, go to the EESI website here:
