Are you interested in applying for energy grants or need a strategic partner to help promote an alternative form of energy? If so, you should reach out to the
Indiana Office of Energy Development (OED). OED is the official advocate for energy-related programs and an architect for developing a robust energy plan for the state of Indiana.
Recently, South Shore Clean Cities partnered with OED and the
Indiana Corn Marketing Council (ICMC) to promote the
Hoosier Homegrown Fuels (HHF) grant program. The HHF grant program aims to expand the availability of ethanol to roughly 450,000 Hoosiers throughout the state who drive Flex Fuel Vehicles. The grant will provide an additional 64 blender pumps in 15 counties throughout Indiana.
The OED was recently a guest on the
"Green Radio Network" hosted by South Shore Clean Cities. On this segment you'll hear Tristan Vance discuss some of the grants and programs currently in session.
