This presentation outlines Cuyahoga County's Municipal Energy Program, which received $5.7 million from the US Department of Energy to stimulate the economy and improve energy efficiency. $3 million was set aside for municipalities to conduct energy audits and implement conservation projects. Eligible municipalities can receive full grants for audits and up to 80% matching funds for projects. The goals are to benchmark energy usage, track cost savings, and build capacity for a green energy economy in Cuyahoga County through regional coordination on energy policies and procurement.
