This webpage posts Accelerator content specific only to Connecticut. It is not the official NEHPA website. Introducing the New England Heat Pump Accelerator The New England Heat Pump Accelerator (Accelerator) is a multi-state effort to accelerate the adoption of cold-climate air-source heat pumps (ASHP), ground-source heat pumps (GSHP), and heat pump water heaters (HPWH) across New England.
The Accelerator coalition was awarded a $450 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Program in July 2024. Connecticut DEEP finalized the 5-year grant agreement with EPA in October 2024.
The coalition is led by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources, Maine Governor’s Office for Policy Innovation and the Future, and New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services.
The coalition will leverage the power of a multi-state market to rapidly increase the adoption of heat pumps and heat pump water heaters in single-family and multifamily residential buildings across the region. The coalition will also tackle barriers to affordable heat pump adoption and promote development of heat pump skill sets in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), plumbing, and electrical workforce.
The coalition will partner with heat pump manufacturers, distributors, and installers to increase the availability of air-source and ground-source heat pumps while lowering equipment and installation costs for consumers.
This partnership will include significant investment in workforce training, ensuring installers across the five states will have access to good-paying careers while delivering more efficient heating and cooling solutions for our residents.
A portion of the funding will support innovative strategies to ensure heat pump installations that work for all building types, such as mobile homes, multifamily buildings, and buildings with radiator (hydronic) heating systems common throughout the region.
Through the unprecedented multi-state collaboration supported by this grant, the states will share information and best practices learned through this initiative to improve heat pump programs and building policies for decades to come.

EPA's Innovative Water Infrastructure Workforce Development competition closes October 5, 2026. The agency says up to 15 awards across four project areas, but Project Area 1 alone carries a $7.8 million ceiling against a $10.8 million pot. That tension is the single most important strategic fact in the NOFO — here is how to read it, which lane is least competed, and what a three-week runway means for your submission.
Read articleEPA announced $3.5 million in competitive Clean Water Act Section 319 funding for Tribes on September 10, 2026, with a $175,000 per-applicant cap and roughly 20 awards. Applications close November 9, 2026. But eligibility was frozen as of October 10, 2025, and every application must contain an on-the-ground BMP project traceable to an approved management program. Here is how the gates actually work.

One maximum award would consume 72 percent of the pool. Here is how the four project areas actually partition the money, why the grants.gov award floor field is wrong, and why September 14 is the date that matters more than October 5.
