The Green Technology Grant Program supports the improvement and continued growth of ‘green’ technology companies in Arkansas. The funds are provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and administered by the Arkansas Energy Office.
The Green Technology Grant Program targets companies that make or sell products that contribute to renewable energy production or storage, energy efficiency, or programs that result in an overall reduction in energy use. To ensure funds are available for multiple projects, a single company may receive no more than 25 percent of the funds.
To be eligible for funds, projects must meet pre-determined criteria in the area they wish to apply including technical assistance, facilities and equipment improvements, renewable energy products, process improvements, technology improvements, workforce development, and retrofits.
Arkansas Green Technology Grant Program funds are distributed on a competitive basis. The Arkansas Energy Office will have a 45-day time period to receive proposals beginning July 27. At the end of the 45 days, an advisory group will review all proposals and make awards based on the validity of the proposal and availability of funds.
