  • COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS FUELING INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM

    On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) was enacted. As a result of this new law, the State of Florida was allocated $126,089,000 in economic stimulus funds for its State Energy Program (SEP). This funding has been allocated to the Florida Energy and Climate Commission (FECC) from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Of the total amount, the FECC will use $4,000,000 for the creation of the Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Infrastructure Program. This matching grant program is intended to expand the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a transportation fuel through increased deployment of CNG fueling infrastructure throughout the state.

    Eligible applicants under this program include Florida municipalities and county governments, Florida school districts, established for-profit companies licensed to do business in Florida, universities and colleges in Florida, not-for-profit organizations, and State of Florida agencies. Program guidelines and applications are located at MyFloridaClimate.com.
