SELECT ENERGY PROJECTS
Demonstration Energy Projects Program
- Provides competitive grants to public entities for projects that achieve one or more of the above objectives in building projects, transportation projects, energy-related community projects, and energy education projects, or combinations thereof. These projects may include use of renewable energy (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal) and clean-burning transportation fuels (compressed natural gas, propane, electricity, hydrogen, cellulosic ethanol, methanol, biodiesel). Project funding is contingent upon state plan approval and receipt of funding from DOE.
State Energy Program
- Under this Request for Application (RFA), only public entities including public schools (K-12), local governments such as municipalities and counties, state agencies, colleges and universities, and Indian tribes and pueblos are eligible to apply and compete. Successful applicants may subcontract all or parts of their projects as specified in their applications and in compliance with the New Mexico Procurement Code. Other funding opportunities for the public and private sectors will be available through RFAs and Requests for Proposals that will be issued later this summer.
Block Grants
- For funding under this RFA, all New Mexico municipalities and counties are eligible to apply and compete. Sixty (60) percent of the block grant awards must be awarded to entities that did not receive direct awards from the U.S. Department of Energy. The entities that received direct awards are: all of New Mexico’s tribes and pueblos; the 10 largest cities (Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Roswell, Farmington, Alamogordo, Clovis, Hobbs, and Carlsbad); and the 10 largest counties (Bernalillo, San Juan, Doña Ana, Sandoval, McKinley, Santa Fe, Valencia, Rio Arriba, Grant, and Taos). However, these entities may apply for block grant awards from the remaining 40 percent of the funds.
For the three RFAs above:
· Deadline for application submittals is June 26, 2009
· The complete RFA containing detailed information is available at NMORR’s website
