Funding Opportunities

The Nevada Clean Energy Fund (NCEF) currently has one open Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to allocate funds from the 2022 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG) administered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The EECBG Program is designed to assist states, local governments, and Tribes in implementing strategies to reduce energy use, reduce fossil fuel emissions, and improve energy efficiency. Nevada’s state formula award of $1,767,140 was awarded to the Nevada Governor’s Office of Energy (GOE). In accordance with the program requirements, GOE will pass 60% of its allocation through to cities and counties within the state that are ineligible for direct formula grants from DOE, plus an additional allocation for administrative costs. This memo outlines the processes and requirements for such cities and counties to access formula EECBG funds from GOE. GOE is working with NCEF on outreach to eligible cities and counties about this Notice of Funding Opportunity, application intake, and fund disbursement. The application deadline for this NOFO is April 22, 2024. Click on the link below to download the full NOFO. Other funding opportunities will be announced as they become available.
