How NAECE grants work
NAECE grant funding is sourced independently and separately from utility, municipal, state, provincial, and federal rebate programs. Awards are based on eligibility, project scope, anticipated impact, and available funding.
Submitting an application does not guarantee approval, and funding is limited. Approved funding does not need to be repaid unless otherwise specified in a program agreement.
Before you apply
- Review the eligibility requirements for your project
