The Department of Economic and Community Development's Energy Policy Office will host Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG) Administration Workshops in August for communities who were awarded grants earlier this year.
The workshops will cover requirements related to Davis-Bacon, Buy American, historic preservation, reporting, receiving payments, waste management and procurement. Questions about the grants and expectations of the recipients will also be addressed.
Four workshops will be held across the state, as follows:
August 17, 1 - 4 p.m. CST, Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce, Jackson
August 24, 1 - 4 p.m. EST, Cleveland/Bradley County Chamber of Commerce, Cleveland
August 25, 9 a.m. - Noon EST, Walters State Great Smoky Mountains Expo Center, White Pines
August 26, 1 - 4 p.m. CST, Tennessee Tower, Nashville
Registration is required for the workshops. RSVP to 615-741-2994, 800-342-1340 or ecd.energypolicy@tn.gov.
The Tennessee EECBG program awarded $13.4 million in grants to 146 communities throughout the state to implement energy efficient projects. These grants are projected to produce more than 92 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy savings annually, resulting in an estimated cost-savings of $8 million per year for Tennessee communities. In addition, approximately 149 jobs will be created by the 146 grants awarded.
