NAESCO-Accredited Companies Among Projects Teams Selected for Much-Anticipated Renew America’s School Grants
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced the recipients of the first round of funding from the Renew America's School Grant Program, a $500 million investment aimed at energy improvements in K-12 public schools. These funds offer schools the opportunity to spearhead much-needed energy efficiency projects and building improvement projects, creating healthier, safer, and more supportive learning environments for students and educators.
The National Association of Energy Service Companies (NAESCO) congratulates the 24 Local Education Agencies (LEAs) whose grant applications DOE selected and is thrilled that ten of these grants involve NAESCO-accredited Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) and Energy Service Providers (ESPs).
The Renew America’s School Grants Program
The Renew America's School Grants Program is a historic investment into the second-largest sector of American infrastructure. The grant enables K-12 schools to pursue diverse projects encompassing efficiency improvements, emission reduction, and the integration of innovative technologies and programs to reduce utility bills.
These energy projects can improve student outcomes through enhanced environmental conditions and promote STEM education. Simultaneously, the local communities will see economic and environmental benefits.
