Decarbonization Considerations

This program is designed to increase the quantity and quality of contractors needed to install carbon-reducing technologies like heat pumps. Such contractors are currently in short supply, and qualified, informed contractors can help accelerate the transition to more efficient, electric, and renewable technologies - and a clean energy economy overall. State may use amounts received to: 1) Reduce the cost of training contractor employees; 2) Provide testing and certification of contractors trained and educated under a State program developed and implemented pursuant to subsection (a); and 3) Partner with nonprofit organizations to develop and implement a State program pursuant to subsection States administrative costs may not exceed 10%.

Equity Considerations

This program may be used to create good, long-term jobs in clean energy. Program implementers may consider prioritizing job training programs for low-income and otherwise disadvantaged communities.
