Illinois Equitable Energy Future Grant Program

The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (the “Department” or “DCEO”) is issuing this Notice of Funding Opportunity to provide seed funding and pre-development funding opportunities to eligible contractors to support the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects benefiting businesses, community organizations, and the workforce in historically disadvantaged communities. The grant program is designed to help remove barriers to project, community, and business development caused by a lack of capital.
