The Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) has been awarded a $62,450,000 federal Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund: Section 134(a)(1) - Zero Emission Technologies Grant Program (CFDA 66.959). The award, effective September 1, 2024, with a completion date of August 31, 2029, will enable DEEP to provide financial and technical assistance to low-income and disadvantaged communities in Connecticut for the deployment of residential-serving distributed solar energy and storage projects. DEEP will offer subsidies, project deployment services, and other support to ensure these underserved households can access and benefit from residential solar, achieving savings, community ownership, and energy resilience. The grant aligns with the goals of the Inflation Reduction Act to expand clean energy investment in disadvantaged areas.
