The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

The Community Energy Management Application Deadline has been extended! Applications will be accepted through December 31, 2024
CEM is designed to meet applicants wherever they are on the energy management spectrum. Accordingly, CEM can be used to fund a range of energy-related projects such as, but not limited to, energy management, energy efficiency, renewable energy, fleet electrification, EV charging infrastructure, sustainable financing solutions, and/or clean energy workforce development. Review the Eligibility Criteria section of the RFP, linked below, to see the full list of eligible projects.
*At this time, public schools and universities are not eligible to apply for the CEM program.
*Renewable energy projects will only be considered after all, or a majority of, energy efficiency upgrades have been completed as identified in an ASHRAE Level II audit.
Applicants must be physically located in Michigan and one of the following:
Priority will be given to applicants who are in disadvantaged census tracts and/or have not received CEM funding in the past.
A total of $5,850,000 in funding is available through the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) State Energy Program (SEP) and Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG). $150,000 of this total is available through the SEP's annual allocation, $3,000,000 is made available through the SEP's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (SEP BIL) allocation, and the remaining $2,700,00 is made available through the DOE's EECBG program. The minimum and maximum grant award size for these allocations is:
1. Minimum individual grant award for this portion of funding is $5,000.
2. Maximum individual grant award for this portion of funding is $100,000.
Eligible expenditures include contractual services, supplies/materials, and equipment items. EGLE WILL NOT FUND ANY EXPENDITURES THAT HAVE OCCURRED BEFORE A GRANT AGREEMENT HAS BEEN EXECUTED.
Grant awards will be distributed on a reimbursement basis only, meaning grantees must pay project costs in full prior to receiving funds from EGLE. EGLE will reimburse grantees their award amount once proper invoices, receipts, and proof of payments have been received and reviewed.
