Can Local Governments Apply For TERP Grants?

Cities and counties are eligible and it would be easy to speculate that the state would like to see them taking advantage of these funds. Grant money would help municipalities stretch their budgets further and get them on board with the emission reduction stance held both in Austin and in Washington.

That having been said most of the applications we’ve helped complete have been for businesses.

One reason is that government owners usually don’t run their units for as many annual hours which directly affects the size of an ERIG grant.

If you purchase equipment at the municipal level don’t rule out the Rebate Grant program. It doesn’t punish lower hour owners and has other benefits like a faster turnaround time on the approval process.
