The Energy Office is requesting proposals from non-profit or public organizations to conduct outreach projects in Michigan to promote and market 1) Solar Energy and 2) Wind Energy.  These funds do not provide funds to directly purchase and install solar or wind energy systems.  It is expected that two projects will be selected, one in each project area.  Each project can be up to $36,000.  The activities will cover nine months from January 1, 2009 through September 31, 2009.  The deadline for proposals is August 15, 2008.  To obtain a Request for Proposal, please email John Sarver at sarverj@michigan.gov.
