TVA and partners will award grants today during a virtual event, ranging from $10,000 to $410,000 to assist with building energy upgrades and learning environment improvements.
The list of cities with grant winners include Greeneville, Chuckey, and Fall Branch. The amount is dependent on the score each school achieved by cutting their energy waste through behavioral changes and by engaging students, faculty and staff over the year-long program.
Contact your local school district for more information about the School Uplift program.
To date, TVA has invested $7.28 million and TN’s Energy Efficient Schools Initiative has invested $1.86 million in School Uplift helping over 118 schools save nearly 10% on their energy bills.
The average combined energy savings resulting from School Uplift renovations and behavior changes is equal to the carbon dioxide equivalent of 26,300 metric tonnes, or more than 29.5 million pounds of coal.
Full list of winners and grant amounts will be posted on TVA.com after the event today at 11 AM.
