EECBG program <br />funds will have maximum impact if invested in ways that create and/or retain jobs and stimulate <br />the economy in the short term while laying the foundation for a long-term and sustainable clean <br />energy economy. DOE encourages grantees to prioritize programs and projects that: <br /> <br />. Leverage other public and private resources; <br />. Enhance workforce development; <br />. Persist beyond the funding period; and <br />. Promote energy market transformation such as revolving loans, low-cost loans, energy <br />savings performance contracting, advanced building codes, building and home retrofit <br />incentives and policies. and transportation programs and policies. <br /> <br />Criteria for Large City Formula <br />The formula for large cities is based in general on determining allocations to cities and counties <br />with two weighted factors: resident and daytime (commuter) population. The resident population <br />factor receives a weight of approximately 70 percent and the daytime population factor receives a <br />weight of approximately 30 percent. This accounts for the energy use of these populations. <br /> <br />Application Process <br />There is a three-step registration process required to do business with the federal government. <br />Please allow 21 days to complete the registration process.
