The Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) is offering the Energizing Insular Communities (EIC) Program grant. This grant is for proposals focusing on developing and implementing sustainable energy strategies within U.S. territories. The primary purpose of this funding is to combat climate change, decrease dependency on costly imported fuels, and foster the use of local energy resources. Successful projects will also aim to enhance the performance of existing energy infrastructure and boost overall energy efficiency across these regions. This initiative seeks to empower insular communities by building a more resilient, self-sufficient, and environmentally conscious energy future, promoting long-term economic stability and ecological well-being. Applicants should demonstrate how their projects contribute to these critical objectives for energy independence and sustainability.
