*2025 Small Manufacturers Retooling Program
**Request for Proposals Now Open*

EGLE offers matching grants to accelerate the implementation of energy efficiency for small manufacturers, through the Retooling Program. This program helps fund manufacturing process improvements that reduce energy use and cost per unit produced.  As the MI Healthy Climate Plan recognizes, Michigan's industrial sector represents one of the state's greatest strengths, not only economically, but also on the path to decarbonization.

EGLE Director Phil Roos, right, listens as an Eagle Mine representative explains the process of extracting nickel from ore at Humboldt Mill.

Michigan has the 5th largest advanced manufacturing workforce in the country, with more than 65,000 workers employed in that sector in 2019. The Retooling Program is designed to help small Michigan manufacturers take advantage of opportunities to both strengthen the resiliency of their businesses and decarbonize our economy, to mitigate the worst outcomes of climate change. 

Technical assistance is also available through the Retired Engineers, Scientists, Technicians, Administrators, Researchers and Teachers (RESTART) [ [link removed] ] program. RESTART offers free onsite energy efficiency and sustainability technical assistance and assessments to small and medium-sized commercial businesses throughout Michigan. 

A total of $250,000 in funding is expected to be available for the program. The maximum individual grant award amount is $50,000. All grants require a minimum 100 percent match. EGLE reserves the right to issue awards/award amounts reflecting program priorities. Expenditures incurred outside the executed grant agreement time period are ineligible.
