Mini-Grant Program | Energy. SC. Gov The South Carolina Energy Office (SCEO) Mini-Grant Program awards up to $75,000 for high-impact projects in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and clean transportation.
Each year, the program funds projects that reduce energy costs, showcase new technologies and approaches, and serve as models for communities across the state. In FY27, the program is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's State Energy Program through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
Who can apply: Eligible applicants include state agencies, local governments, public colleges, universities, and technical colleges, K-12 public schools, and nonprofit organizations. Funding: The maximum award is $75,000 per project, which is an increase from previous years due to supplemental IIJA funding to the SCEO. Cost sharing is not required, but leveraging other funds is encouraged to maximize a project's energy benefits.
Mini-Grants are paid on a reimbursement basis, and costs incurred before the grant agreement is executed are not eligible. Funding is limited, and awards are competitive. All projects must be completed by December 1, 2027.
How to apply: Review the solicitation, then complete the application, including the authorized signature and the Supplemental Information Worksheet for your project type. Email the completed application and all supporting documents to energycs@ors. sc.
