Rebate Grant Update: It's Going Fast

Two weeks after it opened this Rebate Grant round is almost out of funds. More than $13 million at the start has been whittled down to $1,286,932 as of Monday.

We had a few customers jump on this opportunity for ARRA stimulus dollars and it appears they weren't the only ones.

Rebate Grants may have gained some fans since recipents don't have the worry of meeting annual hour numbers.

The next round will be in the ERIG format in the April/May time frame. You may want to start thinking about how many hours you can comfortably commit to now.

TERP ARRA Rebate Grant Round Open

Word has come down in the last ten minutes or so that this has officially opened and forms are ready for download from the TCEQ's website.

On-road applications now allow for diesel, natural gas or propane powered vehicles, but since the focus here is off-road construction equipment I won't go into any more detail except to make you aware this widens the applicant pool a little which means more people competing for the same money.

This round closes on April 20, 2010, but since it is first come, first served there's a good chance the money will be gone by then anyway.

Good luck.

*UPDATE*

Forgot to list the starting dollar amount: $13,165,683 (as of February 8, 2010)

HDVEGP Puchase Deadline on the Horizon

If you have an approved grant with the HDVEGP then be aware the deadline to buy is April 30th of this year.

That is the round currently being run by the North Central Texas Council of Governments and money is actually still available.

At this point it would take a somewhat quick turnaround of gathering information, applying, getting approved and then purchasing, but you do have time.

With the ARRA-sponsored Rebate Grant round kicking off sometime this month and talk of an ERIG round opening in April or May there are some good grant opportunities out there.
