Grant Overview
Implementation Timeline for Delaware's Innovative Energy & Sustainability Projects
Delaware stands out as a vibrant hub for innovative projects in the clean energy and sustainability sector. With a population of under a million, this small state is home to unique geographic features, such as its coastal economy and proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, making it particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change yet an ideal testbed for innovative energy solutions. As such, the implementation plan for the Federal Government's funding opportunity for innovative energy and sustainability projects is designed to support organizations, small businesses, and research institutions keen to explore new ideas and sustainable solutions.
