Status note, as recorded
Re-verified 2026-08-25: unchanged — "UPDATE: WAITLISTS OPEN FOR ALL ACTIVITIES". Energy Assessments and Audits, EMIS, Strategic Energy Management and Capital Retrofits are all waitlist-only, and SEM is explicitly closed to new applications. Funding is limited and not guaranteed; the program runs to March 31, 2027 or until funds are allocated. A waitlist is not an open intake — MUST NOT appear in the homepage funding highlight.
Program details change. Always confirm with the provider before budgeting. If this page and the official page disagree, the official page is right — and we would like to know, at info@quantifyenv.com.
