The County of Dane in Wisconsin was awarded a $266,890 Formula Grant under the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program (CFDA 81.128). The grant is intended to assist state, local, and tribal governments in implementing strategies to reduce energy consumption, fossil fuel emissions, and improve overall community energy efficiency. Key activities to be supported by the funding include conducting energy audits, performing building retrofits, developing energy efficiency plans, and installing renewable energy technologies.
The award also includes two federal grant sub-awards. One sub-award to The Hmong Institute Inc., a minority-owned non-profit organization, will provide home efficiency outreach and increase participation in weatherization and energy efficiency programs. Another sub-award to the Center for Community Stewardship Inc., a non-profit, will offer home efficiency training to vendors supporting the home energy guides and weatherization program. These sub-awards suggest the grant program is collaborating with local community organizations to deliver targeted energy efficiency services and education to underserved populations in Wisconsin.
