Michigan manufacturers with 500 or fewer employees can apply on a rolling basis for 1:1 matching grants up to $50,000 for energy efficiency retooling projects, especially those recommended by energy audits.
EGLE offers matching grants to help small Michigan manufacturers implement energy efficiency (and, per the RFP, renewable energy) improvements that deliver energy and cost savings, with focus on implementing recommendations from recognized energy audits. About $200,000 is expected to be available, the maximum individual grant is $50,000, and all grants require a minimum 1:1 match; costs are reimbursed only after a grant agreement is executed. The 2026 RFP accepts responses on a rolling basis until all funds are allocated.
Any manufacturer located in Michigan with 500 or fewer employees worldwide.
Applicant must be in good standing with the State of Michigan.
Projects must address one or more program objectives and priorities in the RFP.
Federal funds (such as USDA REAP) cannot be used as match; cannabis facilities are not eligible.
