The County of Oakland has been awarded a $434,190 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program (CFDA 81.128). This grant, with a performance period from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2026, is intended to assist the county in implementing strategies to reduce energy consumption, lower fossil fuel emissions, and improve overall energy efficiency within its jurisdiction. The EECBG Program provides financial and technical support to state, local, and tribal governments to develop and execute a range of energy efficiency and conservation initiatives, such as conducting energy audits, implementing building retrofits, and installing renewable energy technologies. As a Formula Grant, the award amount is based on a pre-determined allocation formula rather than a competitive application process. The County of Oakland, a local government entity in Michigan, will leverage this federal funding to enhance its capabilities in delivering essential public services and programs that promote energy sustainability and environmental stewardship for its community of over 1.2 million residents.
