Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5 signed by President Obama on February 17, 2009, appropriated $3.2 billion for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program. The Program was authorized in Title V, Subtitle E of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), and signed into Public Law (PL 110-140) on December 19, 2007. The EECBG Program represents a Presidential priority to deploy the cheapest, cleanest, and fastest energy sources.

The EECBG Program is administered by the Office of Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It is modeled after the Community Development Block Grant Program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Program provides federal grants to units of local government, Indian tribes, states, and territories to reduce energy use and fossil fuel emissions, and for improvements in energy efficiency. The City of Miami Gardens is eligible to receive $989,200 in funding for the implementation of energy efficiency and conservation programs. 

On May 14, 2009, the Department of Community Development held a workshop to discuss the EECBG program and receive input from community stakeholders and industry professionals on the City’s proposed activities.
