Opportunity Information: Apply for OIAOIA EIC2200637

The FY 2022 Energizing Insular Communities (EIC) Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA). The program is designed to support practical, sustainable energy strategies across U.S. island territories, with a strong focus on projects that help mitigate climate change while strengthening local energy systems. At its core, EIC funding is intended to help territories reduce dependence on imported fuels, lower the high costs associated with shipping and purchasing those fuels, and expand the use of domestic energy resources. The program also emphasizes improving the performance and resilience of energy infrastructure and increasing overall energy efficiency, which can include upgrades, modernization, or other efforts that make energy delivery and consumption more reliable and cost-effective.

Eligible applicants are limited to organizations located within specific U.S. territories: Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Within those locations, the eligible entity types include local government entities, independent authorities, and institutions of higher education. This structure signals that the program is meant to fund initiatives with clear public benefit and the capacity to plan, implement, and maintain energy-related improvements, whether through government-led efforts, public authorities managing utilities or infrastructure, or universities and colleges contributing technical expertise, research capacity, training, and demonstration projects.

This opportunity is categorized under the Energy funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.875. The funding instrument is a grant. The opportunity was created on February 2, 2022, and the original closing date for applications was June 15, 2022. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or the expected number of awards in the provided source data, which typically means applicants would need to refer to the full announcement package or guidance to understand typical award sizes, any minimum or maximum funding levels, and any program-specific budget rules or cost share expectations.

Overall, the EIC program is positioned as a tool to help insular areas tackle unique energy challenges that often include high electricity costs, vulnerability to supply disruptions, and infrastructure exposed to severe weather. By supporting efficiency, infrastructure performance, and local energy development, the program aims to help these territories move toward more secure, affordable, and lower-carbon energy systems.
