WASHINGTON, DC — Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham announced that the Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding $74,697,446 to 24 states plus the Navajo Nation to improve the energy efficiency of low-income households.
“These weatherization assistance grants will enable states to provide energy-saving home improvements to thousands of low-income families this year,” Abraham said. “Every state, the District of Columbia, and the Navajo Nation are receiving weatherization grants this year. Weatherization reduces an average home’s energy cost by $218 each year.”
