The State Energy Program (SEP) is a formula grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), managed by the Energy Division at ADECA, and is utilized to plan and implement energy programs in Alabama that are designed to achieve national energy goals such as lowering energy costs and consumption, decreasing reliance on imported energy, reducing impacts of energy production and use on the environment, and to increase energy security and reliability. 

$55.57 million was allocated to this program in Alabama through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). A Request for Proposals was issued by ADECA and proposals were received by June 29, 2009.

DOE has approved Alabama’s plan resulting in a full award of $55,570,000 that accounts for 100% of its total allocation. Proposals to be funded from this portion of the allocation are currently under review. Grant awards will be announced by the Governor and posted on this site as soon as funding determinations have been made.
