Categories of Eligible Locations for Activities to Take Place Description of Funding Opportunity Overview of the Arizona Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program The purpose of the Arizona EECBG Program is to assist eligible local governments in creating and implementing strategies to: ● Reduce fossil fuel emissions in a manner that is environmentally sustainable and, to the maximum extent practicable, maximizes benefits for local and regional communities; ● Reduce the total energy use of the eligible entities; ● Improve energy efficiency in the transportation sector, the building sector, and other appropriate sectors; and ● Build a clean and equitable energy economy that prioritizes disadvantaged communities and promotes equity and inclusion in workforce opportunities and deployment activities, consistent with the Justice40 Initiative.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021—also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)—section 40552 provided funding for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program. The CFDA number assigned to the EECBG Program is 81. 128.
The Arizona Governor’s Office of Resiliency (OOR), which is the State Energy Office (SEO), received a formula allocation under the EECBG from the U.S. Department of Energy. Consistent with USDOE requirements, at least sixty percent (60%) of the State’s formula allocation must be distributed to local governments that are ineligible for direct EECBG formula funding.
The OOR is making funding available for specific categories of EECBG-allowable projects, as described in this Request for Grant Applications (RFGA).
Applicants should be aware that the funding made available through the EECBG program is subject to various federal requirements, including but not limited to, the Build America Buy America Act, the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts labor standards, and the National Environmental Protection Act: ● Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act: The BABA Requirement applies to articles, materials, and supplies that are consumed in, incorporated into, or permanently affixed to an EECBG-funded infrastructure project.
Specifically, all iron and steel, all manufactured products, and all construction materials used in the project must be produced in the ● Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA): All projects funded, in whole or in part, by the BIL that involve construction, alteration, or repair are required to follow Davis-Bacon Act labor standards and comply with reporting requirements.
Applications selected for funding for construction, alteration, or repair projects are required to pay laborers and mechanics the published prevailing wage, set by the U.S. Department of Labor through wage determinations, on a weekly basis.
Additionally, awarded subrecipients will be required to maintain accurate records of hours worked and wages paid, and submit certified payroll on a weekly basis in addition to other reporting to help ensure ● National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA): Compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act is required to receive EECBG Program funds.
For those projects requiring NEPA review, the OOR will provide additional guidance for grantees after the award process. Applicants should await further direction before obtaining official NEPA review and approval. Proposed local government activities to be supported by EECBG funding shall outline, in their proposal, the means by which subgrantees shall meet Justice40 requirements.
Meeting Justice40 requirements shall be included in reporting submitted by subgrantees. As the prime award for this funding was granted prior to October 1, 2024, these funds are not subject to the updated OMB Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance.

Development and implementation of an energy efficiency and conservation strategy. The activity must be for the development, in support of the development, or in support of the implementation of a general strategy that outlines goals for energy efficiency or 2.
Retaining technical consultant services to assist the eligible entity in the development and implementation of an energy efficiency and conservation strategy, including developing methods to measure progress in achieving the goals identified in the strategy, and developing and publishing annual reports, such as dissemination of energy plans and 3.
Conducting residential and commercial building energy audits and/or energy usage assessments, within the jurisdiction of the eligible entity. 4. The performance of energy efficiency retrofits.
The retrofit may be of equipment (e.g., an HVAC system and associated controls, appliances, or lighting) or a building. The retrofit must result in energy savings (e.g., kwh/BTUs) or improved energy efficiency; must not be for new construction or non-replacement equipment; and must occur within the jurisdiction 5.

On June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.

Full applications are due June 2 from the ~150 researchers DOE pre-cleared in March. Here's what the program rewards, why this year's announcement leans hard into Executive Order 14303 on Gold Standard Science, what untenured PIs at academic institutions vs. national labs should expect, and how to position for the FY27 pre-application gate next March.
