DOE Webinar on Establishing a Revolving Loan Fund with Recovery Act Funding, August 26, 2009

On August 26, 2009 from 3-4:15 p.m. Eastern, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Technical Assistance Project (TAP) for state and local officials will offer a webinar on how to use 2009 Recovery Act funding to establish a revolving loan fund for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The 2009 Recovery Act provides $3.1 billion for state energy efficiency and renewable energy programs. Many states are using this funding to set up revolving loan funds for energy programs because, once established, revolving loan funds are not subject to the 3-year expiration of funds under the Recovery Act. This webcast will discuss how to set up a revolving loan fund to increase the impact of Recovery Act funding.

The webinar, entitled “Revolving Loan Funds: Basics and Best Practices,” is free of charge, but please register in advance in order to receive a URL and call-in phone number. To register, find information on other upcoming webcasts, or to obtain background materials, please visit the TAP Webcast section of the DOE Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program website at http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/wip/tap_webcasts.cfm.
