AI Contract Overview
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is offering up to 5 million dollars in Wastewater Recovery Pilot Grants through its Climate Protection and Mitigation Expendable Trust. This initiative seeks proposals from eligible entities to implement wastewater heat recovery technology across Massachusetts, utilizing wastewater as a thermal energy source for building cooling, hot water, or space heating. The program is structured into three phased funding stages: assessment, design, and construction. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis from May 26, 2026, through May 31, 2028, with grants awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are fully expended. Eligible applicants must submit a comprehensive online application including a project narrative, scope of work, and proposed budget. Evaluation is based on proposal clarity, the environmental impact of the energy recovery system, regional location, and cost-effectiveness, with minimum scoring thresholds of 50 points for Phase 1 and 75 points for Phases 2 and 3. Non-public entities and non-profits must provide specific tax certifications and proof of operational history. Technical requirements include 30-year demand predictions, detailed system interaction drawings, and a diversion plan for construction that must be accepted by the local wastewater utility.
