Specifics of the state’s proposed stimulus funding plan include:

• Exploring the development of Smart Grid concepts and their application in the state and establish a Home Performance with Energy Star program, which will provide energy assessments and improvement recommendations in existing homes.
• Purchasing and installing energy efficiency or renewable energy equipment and materials for the retrofit of a state-of-the-art Advanced Battery Strategic Planning facility and the proposed advanced battery manufacturing facility to be built in Glendale, Ky. 
• Dramatically improving energy efficiency in government buildings by installing an Energy Management System and establishing the Kentucky Green Bank, a revolving loan fund for energy efficiency improvements.
• Expanding the Kentucky Energy Efficiency program in public schools, as well as the Green and Healthy Schools program, to help Kentucky schools better manage energy use, while also educating students, faculty and staff on efficiency and conservation efforts.
• Expanding an industrial/ commercial sustainability program modeled after a DOE program to increase the number of onsite energy efficiency assessments at industrial and commercial facilities.
• Supporting a Governor’s Office of Agriculture Policy initiative for a new on-farm energy efficiency and production program that will provide grants to farmers for energy assessments and for technical assistance in applying for USDA grants, thus creating increased funding opportunities for Kentucky farmers.
