The Maryland Clean Energy Center (MCEC) is seeking project proposals from local governments and their partners that would advance energy efficiency and the adoption of renewable energy technologies to be considered for funding. MCEC has a very limited amount of ARRA funding available to fund projects and will consider proposals for small funding awards submitted by no later than February 15, 2011.  Projects must have a component that calls for installation of some renewable energy related system, technology or energy efficiency measure and wherever possible should provide some element of matching funds. Projects should be publically visible and provide an element that expands consumer awareness about clean energy and energy efficiency.

Projects will be evaluated on public benefit and visibility, need, return to MCEC, technology use, projected energy savings, and readiness of project.
Please send materials by the 4:00 PM on Feb. 15th via email to dparrish@mdcleanenergy.org identifying the subject as: MCEC Local Funding Assistance Grant Proposal.
