This FOA will use up to $453.72 million in Recovery Act Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant funds for competitive grants awarded in two topic areas:</p> <p><ul> <li>Topic 1, the Retrofit Ramp-up Program, provides up to $390.04 million for programs of $5 to $75 million for 8 to 20 awards.</li> <li>Topic 2, the General Innovation Fund, is for competitive grants that are reserved for units of local government and state-recognized tribes not eligible for direct formula grants, as per the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 requirements. Topic 2 provides up to $63.68 million (approximately 2% of $3.2 billion) for projects of $1 to $5 million for 15 to 60 awards. </li> </ul></p> <p>The goal of this competitive FOA is to stimulate activities that move beyond traditional public awareness campaigns, program maintenance, demonstration projects, and other one-time strategies and projects. DOE seeks to stimulate activities and investments which can fundamentally and permanently transform energy markets in a way that make energy efficiency and renewable energy the options of first choice; and sustain themselves beyond the grant monies and the grant period by designing a viable strategy for program sustainability into the overall program plan. </p></td> </table><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EereFinancialOpportunities/~4/RKRgI_35qY4" height="1" width="1"/> http://www1.eere.energy.gov/financing/sol=309 http://www1.eere.energy.gov/financing/solicitations_detail.html?sol_id=309 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EereFinancialOpportunities/~3/0y8khvsnpEA/solicitations_detail.html Mon, 03 Aug 2009 00:00:00 MST <table> <tr> <td>Funding Opportunity Number: </td> <td>DE-PS36-09GO99021</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Funding Organization: </td> <td>Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign='top'>Open Date:</td> <td>2009-01-28</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign='top'>Close Date:</td> <td>2009-12-31</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign='top'>Funds Available:</td> <td>$2 million</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">Description:</td> <td><p>Solar America Showcases help facilitate large-scale installations that involve cutting-edge solar technologies, novel applications of solar, high visibility sites, and/or high likelihood of replicability.
