The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG) program is focused on saving energy in cities and counties.  EECBG funds will come to Arkansas via three main mechanisms:

• State Energy Program - The Arkansas Energy Office (AEO) will receive an additional $3.8 million in funding for its State Energy Program via EECBG.


• Small Cities and Counties - The AEO will receive $5 million in funding from EECBG that will pass-through our office to cities with populations under 35,000 and counties with under 200,000. 


• Large Cities and Counties - The ten largest cities and counties in Arkansas will directly receive from DOE a total of $10.5 million from EECBG.  These cities and counties include:
• Cities: Conway, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Hot Springs, Jonesboro, Little Rock, North Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Rogers, and Springdale.
• Counties: Benton, Crawford, Crittenden, Garland, Lonoke, Pope, Pulaski, Saline, Washington, and White.
