On April 10, the Department of Energy Resources awarded 24 grants totaling $344,736 to cities and towns across the Commonwealth to support clean energy projects.
The Municipal Energy Technical Assistance grants are used by municipalities, regional school districts, and water/wastewater districts to aid in the management of projects or the performance of studies to support the development of energy projects.
“Each year, META grants provide the catalyst for local clean energy projects to move from concept to reality, and ultimately help communities invest in their economies,” said Department of Energy Resources Commissioner Elizabeth Mahony. “DOER is pleased to offer META grants to these 24 communities to help them reduce energy use and long-term energy costs by implementing clean energy projects and solutions.”
META grants fund the services of expert consultants and contractors to assist with a diverse array of local clean energy projects. Applicants were eligible to apply for grants of up to $15,000.
