Competitively-Awarded State Energy Program Projects Cover Three Areas
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded nearly $4 million to 13 states to increase statewide energy savings and boost the energy efficiency of public institutions, local governments, and industrial sectors.
“Smart, cost-effective investments in energy efficiency are helping communities across the country cut energy waste and foster economic growth,” said Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy David Danielson. “Through the State Energy Program, states and local governments are leading by example — saving taxpayer dollars and curbing the effects of carbon pollution.”
