Save Energy Now: State, Regional and Local Delivery: A link to the full Funding Opportunity Announcement is found by scrolling to the bottom of this page. This is a restricted eligibility. Eligibility will be restricted to the 50 State Energy Offices, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Applications must be submitted by the State Energy Office or other agency responsible for administering the State Energy Program pursuant to 10 CFR part 420, although States may work in collaboration with non-State partners. NOTE: While all awards will be made to single State Energy Offices, it is acceptable for multiple states to partner in the conduct of regional activities. The Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) is seeking applications for the development and delivery of Industrial Energy Efficiency programs implemented at the local, state and/or regional level. These localized Industrial Energy Efficiency programs may be modeled after the current ITP Save Energy Now (SEN) efforts while identifying innovative and creative means to implement these programs. ITP's ultimate goal is to transition responsibility for these efforts from the federal/public level to the local/private level; applications should include a discussion of the Applicant's ability to take responsibility for these activities. Successful applications will need to demonstrate a significant contribution to the target of a 2.5 percent annual reduction in industrial energy intensity as outlined in EPACT, Section 106.
