Energy Funding Opportunities

The U.S. and Missouri funding opportunities and incentives listed and linked below are for financial incentives that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency – those designed primarily for residents, businesses, and other end-users rather than funding opportunities for research & development, outreach, or inter-governmental programs.

For more information on research, development, and demonstration funding opportunities available from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, visit their Web site at http://www.eere.energy.gov/financing/types_assistance.html.

New federal  and state programs and incentives will be added as they become available. If there are other energy-related grants, loans, tax incentives or other financial opportunities that we should include here, please email us.
