Grantees will install energy-efficient retrofits in low-income residences.
The Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced that $53.6 million has been awarded to weatherize low-income residences in 14 states. Authorized for the Weatherization Assistance Program through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the funding will provide qualified households with necessary energy-efficient updates, such as sealing cracks and gaps, installing triple-pane windows, retrofitting new heat pumps, and improving insulation.
“We are infusing new technology and flexibility into the Department’s long-standing Weatherization Assistance Program, investing in more low-income households and creating more clean energy jobs,” said Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Granholm to be prudent as funding is allotted to energy-efficient projects.
- For U.S. energy officials as they pursue energy upgrades and renewable energy production.
