The Mechanical Insulation Grant Program (Program) provides grants to eligible individuals, nonprofit organizations, and business entities to help incentivize the installation of mechanical insulation on a commercial or industrial property, thereby enabling energy-saving improvements to large-scale thermal distribution networks. Please see the Funding Opportunity Announcement below for more information.


Application Deadline: Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until funding is fully awarded or until March 26, 2025 at 3 P.M., whichever occurs first.  Earlier application submittals are strongly encouraged in order to have the best chance of obtaining funding under the Program.
