EECBG Program: Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy Template for Local Governments 
Local governments must submit a proposed Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (EECS) to the Department of Energy (DOE) to meet the statutory 
requirements for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program. The proposed EECS must include the information contained in Part A of this 
template. Local governments may use this streamlined EECS Template to meet the requirement, but the template is not required. If a local government chooses to 
submit an EECS using an alternative format, the information outlined in Part A must be included in the submission.  
Local governments have the option of submitting their EECS at the time of application or no later than 1 year after the effective date of the award. If the 
latter option is chosen, the EECS should be a comprehensive strategy that covers, at a minimum, all items detailed in this template. DOE will provide informational 
resources and technical assistance to support the development of comprehensive strategies.  
Local governments that do not submit an EECS with their application must submit an EECBG Program Activity File with their application and select 
Activity 1 (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy).

Clean energy and efficiency aligns with the Justice40 Initiative. This strategy supports clean energy and efficiency for disadvantaged communities by evaluating and 
improving lighting conditions in a predominantly low­income area of the City. The project area is located in the City of Glendale zip code 85301, one of the cities 
most impoverished and densely populated areas. The racial makeup of the zip code is majority minority which includes 63% Hispanic/Latino, 13% Black or 
African American, and 4.6% Native American or Alaskan Native. Additionally, 31% of individuals residing within this zip code are living in poverty, compared to 
the overall 12% of Arizonans living in poverty.
