ARRA <strong>Energy</strong> Efficiency<br />

<strong>and</strong> Conservation<br />

Block Grant Program:<br />

With $9.6 million under<br />

ECMD oversight, the<br />

ARRA EECBG program<br />

aims to help local<br />

governments implement<br />

strategies to reduce fossil<br />

fuel emissions <strong>and</strong> total<br />

energy use. The program<br />

emphasizes a communitybased<br />

approach to help<br />

meet energy <strong>and</strong> climate<br />

protection goals. Table 2<br />

summarizes the ARRA<br />

EECBG projects.<br />

Projects for the SEP<br />

<strong>and</strong> EECBG programs<br />

were selected through<br />

a competitive Request<br />

for Application process.<br />

There are more than<br />

80 SEP <strong>and</strong> EECBG<br />

projects in various stages<br />

of implementation that,<br />

upon project completion,<br />

will require 12 months<br />

of monitoring <strong>and</strong><br />

verification of energy<br />

savings or renewable<br />

energy generated for<br />

reporting to DOE. As<br />

projects are completed<br />

<strong>and</strong> enter the monitoring phase, substantial energy <strong>and</strong> cost savings are expected. In fact, the $2 million traffic signal<br />

lighting project funded for the Department of Transportation is already reporting savings of an estimated total<br />

of four million kWh <strong>and</strong> $400,000 per year in communities throughout <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>, equivalent to the average<br />

electricity usage of more than 500 homes in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>.<br />

ARRA <strong>Energy</strong> Efficient Appliance Rebate Program: <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>’s Appliance Rebate Program was a resounding<br />

success, with 94 percent of the total funds spent to date <strong>and</strong> 8,575 consumer rebates issued. Rebates in the amount<br />

of $200 were provided to <strong>New</strong> Mexicans purchasing ENERGY STAR refrigerators, clothes washers <strong>and</strong> gas<br />

furnaces. This program promoted <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> retailers’ appliance sales of over $8 million, generated $400,000 in<br />
