The Green Municipal Fund does not want you to miss your chance to apply for the Accelerating community energy systems (CESs) funded learning program, which has a deadline of February 21 (tomorrow!). GMF will fund studies that: identify, evaluate and prioritize opportunity areas for low-carbon CESs such as renewable energy, and district heating and cooling systems, and assess and develop mechanisms to support implementation. These studies are intended to lay the groundwork for more focused work on a CES initiative, such as developing a business case, conducting a feasibility study, or implementing a capital project.
