	The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Office of Energy announces a workshop to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	September 13, 2023, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (EST)

Subject:	As the legislatively designated state energy policy and program development office within the State of Florida, FDACS OOE uses available state and federal funds to develop and manage energy efficiency, renewable energy, and energy education programs and projects throughout the state. Florida intends to establish a competitive grant program with the purpose of enhancing energy security, advancing energy initiatives, maximizing benefits of energy efficiency, reducing energy cost, stimulating the economy, and creating and retaining jobs. The grant funds will be made available on a competitive basis. Applications are restricted to designated Fiscally Constrained Florida counties as defined by Chapter 218.67(1), Florida Statutes, and the municipalities within those counties. Because the grant application process is competitive, FDACS OOE recognizes the importance in understanding the directions and requirements for competitive grant funding opportunities. Providing workshops on how to adhere to the directions and requirements of a funding announcement and application process can ensure potential applications are in the best shape possible to maximize chances of success with securing funding. The workshop will be designed to provide insight in understanding the basic principles of the application process and the requirements that flow down with federal grant funding. Topics include, but will not be limited to, the Subrecipient Application (FDACS-02032) submission and Federal Requirements (i.e., 2 CFR 200 – Code of Federal Regulations, Davis Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA), Build American Buy American (BABA), National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA)). The workshop will help eligible units of local government in preparing their grant applications and complying with post award requirements. This workshop is open to the public to attend and participate. A previous session will be made available for viewing on the FDACS OOE Website.
