As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced an additional $9 million investment in the Industrial Training and Assessment Centers (ITAC) Implementation Grants program. This funding would support 47 small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) across the country to implement a wide variety of energy and efficiency projects, including installing onsite solar and heat pumps, improving lighting and heating, and electrifying industrial equipment and fleets. Supported by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and administered by DOE’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC), the ITAC Implementation Grants program provides up to $300,000 to manufacturers to implement recommendations made by DOE and other qualified energy assessments. The ITAC program supports the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to lower energy costs, improve efficiency, and reduce harmful emissions, all while supporting small businesses strengthening our domestic manufacturing sector.
