Description
The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources is offering a grant program for municipalities that are already certified Climate Leader Communities. The program funds projects that dramatically cut greenhouse‑gas emissions from municipal operations by installing non‑fossil‑fuel technologies such as solar PV, heat pumps, battery storage, and related resilience measures. Applicants must submit a Notice of Intent, complete the detailed application spreadsheet (Attachment A), and provide a CEO certification (Attachment B). Grants cover up to 90 % of project costs (capped at $1 M) and may reach 100 % for projects located in designated Environmental‑Justice census blocks. Funding is sourced from a $52.5 M pool and awarded semi‑annually until exhausted.
