Energy Efficiency Community Block Grant Program | Commerce | North Dakota Energy Efficiency Community Block Grant Program Applications are now accepted for amounts up to $225,000. The required match is now waived! Cities and counties may apply their own procurement policy rather than the State’s so long as the cost of work is within market norms.
Quotes from prior recipients: “Receiving the EECBG grant has been an incredible benefit for our county. With no prior budget allocation for furnace replacements this year, we were facing significant challenges. Thanks to this grant, we were able to take swift action and replace two critical furnaces, ensuring reliable service and avoiding the costly inefficiencies of temporary fixes.
“ Amy Mittleider, Deputy Auditor, Dickey County Background: In 2024, the US Department of Energy (DOE) provided grant funds totaling $1. 6 million to the State of North Dakota for energy-related efficiency application by smaller communities and counties. [The 10 largest counties and cities of the state are each eligible to receive direct (formula) funding for EECBG projects from US Department of Energy.]
Purpose: Applications for the following projects to include materials and labor will be accepted: Energy Efficiency Up-grades in Public Buildings. This may include weatherization, installation of efficient heating and cooling systems and appliances, water efficiency measures, energy management systems such as smart thermostats, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, cooking equipment, and associated wiring and panel upgrades.
Street and Signal Light Replacement – limited to lighting with LED or other technology of equal or greater value. (This excludes light poles, etc.) EV Charging Stations in community accessible areas. Who may apply: The 43 North Dakota counties and 356 North Dakota cities that were not eligible for formula grants directly from the Federal government are eligible to apply.
This criterion excludes the 10 largest counties and 10 largest cities by population as well as tribal government (all of which were eligible for direct formula EECBG grants from DOE). Size of the Grants: Grants, now up to $225,000. Match requirement is now waived.
Application and Selection Process: Applications may be submitted at any time signed by the highest elected official of the county or the city. A completed Energy Savings Analysis (SFN 59261) with accompanying math should be included with an application. The Division of Community Services intends to issue grants to communities until all of the funds have been obligated and are exhausted.
Requirements and Guidelines: Only those counties and cities that are not among the 10 largest of each by population can be consider for this program. Projects with a total cost of $250,000 or more must meet Build American – Buy America (BABA) requirements. A NEPA review will be required for ground disturbance.
This primarily impacts EV charging station grants. The local government/applicants must be registered at SAM. gov and have a Unique Entity ID (UEI) in order to be eligible.
Projects must be for future projects. If your project is already underway or under contract, EECBG funds cannot be awarded to your project. Cities and Counties may apply their own procurement policy so long as cost of work is within market norms.
Funds are provided on a reimbursement basis after receipt of supporting documentation. Applications for the installation of Building energy efficient measures and Street and/or Signal Lighting Replacement must include a completed Energy Savings Analysis along with a separate sheet showing supporting math used to complete the estimate.
Projects for the installation of Building energy efficient measures and Street and/or Signal Lighting Replacement need to show an energy savings with a payback timeframe of 30 years or less. (Projects that consist primarily of window upgrades or building maintenance work such as roof replacements are unlikely to meet this requirement).
When the project costs $50,000 or more the Energy Saving Analysis (ESA) form must be signed by an engineer. When less than this amount, the form can be signed by a vendor, a representee of a energy service provide, an electrician or an engineer. The math used to calculate the figured provided in the ESA form must be included along with the signed form for review.
Applications must provide a detailed explanation of your project and must describe the benefit or result you are working to achieve. Local governments may use the funds for their own facilities or for a non-profit facility within their jurisdiction. After selection of a project, ND Commerce is required to provide the Department of Energy up to 30 days to review the project prior to proceeding in issuing the grant.

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking launched its AI Gigafactories call on 30 July 2026 as a joint procurement, not a conventional research grant, and that distinction shapes who should respond. It seeks consortia or Special Purpose Vehicles bringing together companies, public entities, investors and other partners to establish up to seven AI Gigafactories across Europe - facilities that combine massive computing power and state-of-the-art AI processors with the software and cloud technology stacks, high-bandwidth connectivity and energy-efficient data centres needed to deliver frontier AI training, fine-tuning and inference at scale. This is the tier above the 19 AI Factories and 13 AI Factory Antennas EuroHPC already oversees, which serve SMEs and startups with free customised support; the Gigafactories are aimed at frontier-scale sovereign capacity. The financing model is blended: EuroHPC expects total private investment of more than EUR 20,000,000,000 across the EU, with successful projects receiving varying levels of EU and national co-funding calibrated to the size and range of sovereign services offered. Per-facility EU contributions have deliberately not been published, so applicants must build their own capital stack and negotiate co-funding rather than apply against a fixed grant envelope. Facilities may be established in a single Member State or span several, and cross-border developments are explicitly welcomed. The reference is EUROHPC-2026-CEI-AIGF-01 and the deadline is 12 November 2026 at 16:00 CET. Realistically this is a call for infrastructure-grade consortia with credible access to billions in capital, energy siting and hyperscale operations experience - not for individual research groups or early-stage startups, who should instead route through the existing AI Factories network.
HMGCC Co-Creation and Dstl are seeking an edge device that processes video and audio from off-the-shelf smart glasses and stitches frames into high-fidelity 3D maps for reconnaissance. The minimum deliverable is a TRL 4 proof of concept. AI, computer vision and machine learning are listed technology themes, for example algorithms that compensate for head movement while stitching frames. Essential requirements are a report on where smart-glasses data flows and who can access it, good daytime urban imagery, and a camera-based 3D map. Desirable features include low-light imaging, audio fusion, testing across several manufacturers and a three-year manufacturer roadmap, and the stretch goal is fusing audio and visual data to handle reflections and solid walls. Redesigning or physically modifying the glasses is out of scope, and data handling must comply with GDPR and manufacturer terms. The total budget is up to £60,000, about US$80,000, excluding VAT, with on average two providers funded for a 12-week project. Questions are due 29 October, pitch day is 25 November, and kick-off is targeted for January 2027. Applications close on 12 November 2026 at 17:00 UK time.

Applicants are notified on 23 November, pitch day is 7 December, and kick-off is targeted for January 2027 for a project of about 10-12 weeks. Applications close on 12 November 2026 at 17:00 UK time.
In January 2026, DOE Policy Flash PF-2026-30 wiped out every 15% and 10% indirect cost cap the administration had imposed in 2025 — because H.R. 6938 ordered it to. The same law froze indirect policy at NSF, Commerce and NASA. But OMB's sweeping new grants rule quietly reopens the fight through the back door. Here is what changed, what money recipients can claw back, and how to protect your indirect recovery going forward.
Read articleOn October 29, 2026, Eastman said the Department of Energy had reinstated the $375 million Industrial Demonstrations Program award it cancelled in May 2025. The money moved from a $1 billion Longview, Texas plant to a Kingsport, Tennessee expansion with a milestone-gated second plant and at least 50% company cost share. It is the first public reversal of a cancelled IDP award we have found, and it came through renegotiation, not litigation. What changed, which awards are still in limbo, and a playbook for terminated grantees.
Read articleOn August 20, 2026 the Energy Department named seven selections across the Battery Materials Processing and Battery Manufacturing and Recycling programs. Three of the seven are recycling or reprocessing. Two awards hit the $100 million ceiling. The round is 83% smaller than Round 2, and the composition tells you exactly what DOE will fund next.
