LBE Decarbonization Implementation Grant (DIG) Program for State Entities

The Leading by Example Decarbonization Implementation Grant Program aims to support larger scale decarbonization efforts at state sites, prioritizing those with dedicated decarbonization plans in place. The program provides funding for projects that facilitate current or future onsite fossil fuel reductions, including replacement of fossil fuel heating or water heating systems with efficient electric alternatives, site electrification upgrades, envelope improvements, and other efficiency improvements. Eligible projects include existing facility decarbonization, new construction, and major renovations. The program has a total funding available of $15,000,000, and awards will be granted on a competitive basis. Key aspects of the program include: • Decarbonization measures: The program supports projects that facilitate current or future onsite fossil fuel reductions. • Eligible costs: Program funding can be used for equipment, labor, and infrastructure costs associated with decarbonization measures. • Procurement methods: Eligible state entities must identify the selected procurement method(s) in their application to DOER. • Funding: The total funding available under this PON is $15,000,000, and DOER intends to leverage funds and support as many projects as possible with the available funding.
