JEFFERSON CITY, MO, OCT.7, 2024 - The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Division of Energy is now accepting applications for subgrants under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG). Applications are being accepted through Dec. 12.

Missouri's EECBG program is offering $2.36 million for projects that promote energy savings, energy conservation or emissions reductions in communities that were not eligible for direct formula funding from the U.S. Department of Energy. Applicants may request between $100,000 and $500,000 for eligible projects. No cost match is required.

"We are excited to help more Missouri communities make investments that increase their energy efficiency and reduce consumption," said Dru Buntin, director of the Department of Natural Resources.
