Donor Name: State of New Mexico Energy Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD)
State: New Mexico
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 12/22/2023
Size of the Grant: Not Available
Grant Duration: Grant Duration Not Mentioned
Details:
Community energy efficiency projects will target the adoption of energy-efficient consumer behavior, equipment, or devices that result in a decrease in energy consumption without reducing the amount or quality of energy services. This includes health and safety measures, including those that use efficient equipment or devices to improve indoor air or drinking water quality, and equipment or electrification upgrades.
Projects will serve one or more goals of the CEED Program for residential buildings in underserved communities, including:
- reduce energy consumption;
- reduce energy-related operating costs;
- reduce the carbon intensity of energy consumption; or
- a combination of the above.
Each applicant is responsible for demonstrating how the proposed projects meet at least one of these goals.
Projects will fall under one of two types. Type 1 Projects are open to Indian nations, tribes, or pueblos; county or municipal governments; and the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority (MFA) to provide improvements to low-income residential buildings in an application identified underserved community. Type 2 Projects are reserved for the MFA to provide improvements to low-income residential buildings across New Mexico. All projects must take place within the state of New Mexico.
Types of Project
- Applications for Type 1 Projects are open to all eligible entities and must describe a scope of work that includes:
- a description of the proposed project including the geographic area and target community, how the project intends to meet the goals of the program, and the approach for maximizing project benefits.
- a description of community partners entities plan to collaborate with and their experience working in the targeted community;
- a timeline for implementation, with a work plan detailing how tasks will be executed within the allotted timeframe and by which members of the project team; and
- A logic model with the proposed reporting metrics and data collection methodology; appropriateness of measures and deliverables created and proposed for tracking and collecting data, and project impact estimates.
- Applications for Type 2 projects are reserved for the MFA and must describe a scope of work that includes:
- a description of the proposed project including the geographic area(s), how the project meets the goals of the program, and the approach for maximizing project benefits.
- a coordination plan with information on how the project would support infrastructure improvements for affordable housing; how the project would complement and not duplicate other energy efficiency programs in the state, and how energy efficiency improvements to the residential housing units will help to reduce the energy burden of low-income households that may not qualify for other energy efficiency programs in the state;
- a logic model with the proposed reporting metrics and data collection methodology; appropriateness of measures and deliverables created and proposed for tracking and collecting data, and project impact estimates; and
- a timeline for implementation, with a work plan detailing how tasks will be executed within the allotted timeframe and by which members of the project team.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible applicants include Indian nations, tribes, or pueblos; county or municipal governments; and the MFA.
- Project costs eligible for reimbursement may include costs of program administration, building audit or assessment costs, contractual costs such as service provider or contractor costs, partner organization costs, engineering design, environmental and regulatory assessments, equipment, supplies, construction, inspections, and monitoring/quality assurance.
