As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) announced today its first round of selectees through the Energy Auditor Training (EAT) Grant Program. A program funded under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), EAT will distribute up to $27.98 million to 15 State Energy Offices (SEOs) and the American Samoa Territorial Energy Office (TEO) to increase the green building workforce across the country and support the implementation of national energy efficiency improvements sparked by BIL and the Inflation Reduction Act. EAT will ensure that our commercial and residential building energy auditors identify ways to reduce energy usage, promote energy efficiency, and offer energy savings to homes and businesses for our country’s upgrade to a more sustainable future.
