Renewable Energy and Energy-Efficient Technologies Grants
.
· Established in 2006, the Florida Renewable Energy Technologies & Energy Efficiency Act (Senate Bill 888) provides renewable energy matching grants for demonstration, commercialization, research and development projects relating to renewable energy technologies. The 2008 Florida Legislature expanded the program to include energy efficient technologies as well as renewable energy resources, including hydrogen, biomass, solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, ocean energy, waste heat and hydroelectric power. Grant funds are available to Florida municipalities and county governments, established for-profit companies licensed to do business in Florida, universities and colleges in Florida, utilities located and operating within Florida, not-for-profit organizations, and State of Florida agencies. Eligible proposals will be evaluated based on a number of different criterion, including cost share percentage, economic development potential, energy efficiency and how the project fosters public awareness of renewable energy technologies.
