Please refer to the Grant Solicitation to view the Grant Selection Criteria, Process, and Requirements. Frequently Asked Questions What is the stacking policy for the grants? SVCE will allow stacking with the Noncompetitive Member Agency Grant and the Competitive Member Agency Grant.

If an Applicant is inclined to stack these two grants for a single capital project under the Competitive Member Agency Grant Decarbonization Track, that project must be at a site that is open to the public and available for demonstration purposes.

If an Applicant is inclined to stack these two grants for a single engagement project under the Competitive Member Agency Grant Engagement Track, that project must expand community education on electrification and similar topics. A separate grant application for the project must be submitted for both grant programs. Depending on the applicant pool, additional funds from the Competitive Member Agency Grant are not guaranteed.

SVCE will allow stacking and matching with regional, utility, state, and federal grants. SVCE will not allow stacking with previous SVCE grants, such as the 2020 Community Resilience Grant and the 2022 Decarbonization Demonstration & Engagement Grant. While previous sites can be considered for this, all proposed work in this application should be a new project.

How will the Competitive Member Agency Grants be selected? The Competitive Member Agency Grants list the preferred criteria under the “Grant Selection Criteria” section of the Grant Solicitation. Projects will be graded and selected by an SVCE-organized panel based on the listed criteria.

What is the reimbursement process for the grants? Reimbursement is done post-project for both the Noncompetitive Member Agency Grants and Competitive Member Agency Grants.

Requests for payment submitted to SVCE shall include: 1) a cover letter on the agency’s letterhead summarizing the project and requested dollar amount for reimbursement 2) an itemized list of all expenditures; and 3) supporting documentation that clearly identifies the expenditure(s) in relation to the scope of the Project.

The request for reimbursement should also include the agency’s final report documenting what was learned from the project. Our project is experiencing delays and will not be complete by the term date listed in the grant agreement. Is there a way to accommodate this?

We understand that projects can experience delays for numerous reasons. If the delay is reasonable, SVCE may extend the grant agreement through an amendment. The agency must request the extension and provide a new proposed timeline.

If approved, the amendment must be signed by the Agency’s and SVCE’s chief executive and/or attorney.
