OEP American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

OEP was the recipient of several different ARRA grants from the Department of Energy. These include:

• Appliance Rebate Program (through February 2012)
• Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (through August 2012)
• State Energy Program (through Septebmer 2012)
• Weatherization Program (through Septebmer 2012)

• Better Buildings Neighborhood Program (through June 2013)

A tremendous amount of work was accomplished through these programs, and you will find some of the many reports, presentations, and products available here as they become available. Many more documents (e.g., RFPs, contracts, meeting minutes, etc.) have been archived and are available upon request.
