In February 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was enacted, creating a renewable energy grant program. The United States Department of Treasury oversees the program, and offers cash grants instead of federal business energy investment tax credits.
In July 2009, documents became available that detailed all deadlines for these new renewable energy grants. The details released by the United States Department of Treasury included terms, conditions of the grants and a sample application. If you are interested in applying, there is a preliminary online procedure that can be followed.
