Energy Efficiency Revolving Loan Fund (EERLF)
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
Project Period: Rolling Applications Begin December 2, 2025

The Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank (“the Bank”) is soliciting applications from public and not-for-profit sector entities for financing construction and building improvement projects that advance:

  • Energy efficiency
  • Carbon dioxide emission reduction
  • Renewable and clean heating/cooling improvements

These investments aim to improve building envelope energy efficiency performances benchmarked by 2024 IBC standards, NE-CHPS and NEEP standards, or LEED-certification. As natural gas-dependent energy sources continue to rise in cost to ratepayers, benefits include actual cost savings on utility bills, reductions in energy loads, decoupling from fossil fuel sources, end-user grid resiliency, and building value appreciation.
