Call for Projects to Implement the
MI Healthy Climate Plan

Project submission deadline: December 15, 2023

The US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) $5 billion Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program has opened its implementation grants general competition, funded by the federal Inflation Reduction Act. Applicants must present implementation-ready projects in a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) that includes a full analysis of potential emissions reductions, community and workforce impacts, and other benefits. 

The State of Michigan already received a $3 million CPRG planning grant to refine and implement the MI Healthy Climate Plan (MHCP) and prepare Michigan communities to compete in the nationwide competition for federal implementation grants. To identify priorities to be included as a part of the state’s PCAP and further inform the implementation of the MHCP, the Office of Climate and Energy (OCE) in Michigan’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is requesting project or program ideas from eligible applicants that are interested in pursuing funds through the EPA competition.

Eligible applicants include local, county, regional, and state government agencies. Nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations are not eligible to be applicants or coalition members but may be partners in implementation. The state is prioritizing feasible near-term projects with a high impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction. Project ideas that are applicable across regions or brought forward by coalitions of eligible applicants will be favorably considered.

The PCAP is due March 1, 2024, and implementation grant competitive applications are due April 1, 2024. To complete the engagement, coordination, and analysis that is required to meet these deadlines, please use this survey to submit details about your project no later than Friday, December 15, 2023.

Questions? Please reach out to [email protected].

MI Healthy Climate Plan Roadmap to 2030 priority action areas 

Released in 2021 after a rigorous, statewide stakeholder engagement process, the MHCP underscores the urgent need for action on climate and identifies bold, necessary, and strategic measures to deliver a carbon neutral economy. The MHCP identifies actions to reduce GHG emissions by 50-52% from 2005 baselines by 2030 in an equitable manner.
