The Commission recognizes the need to support the healthy growth and development of new energy technology concepts in California. The Commission established the Energy Innovations Small Grants Program to meet this need and provide a simplified process for small businesses, small non-profits, individuals and academic institutions applying for funding of research efforts that might otherwise not be implemented. Additionally, to encourage participation in the program, the process for soliciting, evaluating and awarding grants has been simplified and streamlined.
