FY27 AZ Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program

The FY27 Arizona Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program, managed by Governor Katie Hobbs' Office of Resiliency (OOR), provides approximately 300,000 dollars in funding to eligible Arizona city and county local governments. The program aims to help these entities implement strategies to improve energy efficiency and reduce total energy use, such as replacing street lighting, traffic signals, or street signs with energy-efficient technologies. Applications must be submitted electronically through the Euna Grants portal by 5:00 P.M. Arizona time on November 20, 2026, with final award announcements expected by December 31, 2026. Awards are administered on a cost-reimbursement basis, and grantees must be prepared to cover obligations for up to 60 days while awaiting reimbursement. Applicants are evaluated on a 500-point scale based on their project description, benefits, and implementation plans. Compliance requirements are extensive, including adherence to 2 CFR Part 200, the Build America Buy America Act, Davis-Bacon labor standards, and the National Environmental Protection Act. Additionally, grantees must maintain SAM.gov registration, comply with specific state executive orders regarding non-discrimination and cybersecurity, and provide detailed programmatic and fiscal reporting to the OOR.
