The RFP for the CERTs 2014 Seed Grants will open in late August. To prepare, we’re providing some information so that you can become familiar with the application process and start thinking about your projects!
The Minnesota Clean Energy Resource Teams will be seeking proposals for seed grant funds. The grants are designed to provide limited financial assistance for energy efficiency and/or renewable energy projects requiring assistance. Project funding can support assistance services (i.e. labor costs only, such as for a consultant, design professional, installer, or student labor), for projects in all seven Minnesota CERT regions: Central, Metro, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, and West Central.
The primary objectives of this funding are to:
- Encourage the implementation of community-based energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in Minnesota
- Provide a forum for community education about energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and their economic, ecological, and community benefits
