Energy Improvement in Rural or Remote Areas Grant Program 

The program goals are:  

• Benefit energy customers in rural or remote areas through funding replicable projects that lower energy costs, improve energy access and resilience, and/or reduce environmental harm. 
• Support new rural or remote energy system models using climate-resilient technologies, business structures that promote economic resilience, new financing mechanisms, and/or new community engagement practices. 

• Build clean energy knowledge, capacity, and self-reliance in rural America. 

With this grant opportunity you could invest in water and wastewater decarbonization at a much lower cost while significantly reducing your carbon emissions.  

If you are unsure where to start, we can help! Cascade professionals are experts in decarbonizing the life cycle of a water system and are prepared to be your trusted guides from the proposal process through program design through implementation.
