Clean Energy Resource Teams award 55 seed grants for innovative projects across Minnesota

JANUARY 13, STATEWIDE, MN - The Minnesota Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERTs) are kicking off 2010 by announcing the projects awarded seed grants in each of the seven Minnesota CERTs regions. These catalyzing grants of up to $11,000 will help projects garner further funding and bring communities together in identifying and implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. CERTs received 122 proposals requesting a total of $829,224; of these, 55 proposals were funded for a total granting amount of $280,000.
"CERTs provides these seed grants with two primary objectives in mind: to encourage implementation of community-based clean energy projects across the state, and to provide an educational forum for energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and their economic, community and ecological benefits," says Lissa Pawlisch, CERTs Statewide Coordinator.
Project funding will put Minnesotans to work by supporting technical assistance labor services, such as for a consultant, design professional, installer or student labor, for projects across the state in all seven Minnesota CERT regions: Central, Metro, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest and West Central. A list of all of the seed grant recipients by region can be found on the CERTs website at www.CleanEnergyResourceTeams.org.
This is the fourth round of grant funding from CERTs-they awarded seed grants to Minnesota projects in 2006, 2007, and 2008, funding over 80 projects during that time, and providing non-financial assistance to many more. For the current round of funding, each of the seven regions had a $40,000 pool of grant money to award. Each Regional Team's Steering Committee made its own seed grant selections, and the funding levels vary by region. This is the first year that grant awards have been made in the Metro Region. Projects approved for funding will be completed by December 31st, 2010.
The funded projects are in the areas of energy efficiency, clean energy, education and research. Funding for these projects is provided through the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Office of Energy Security. Below are selected highlights of funded projects across the state.
Examples of energy efficiency projects receiving funding include the development of energy efficiency orientation curriculum for low-income, first-time homebuyers in Minnesota; the energy efficient rehabilitation of five foreclosed home .....
