REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS

Community Energy Efficiency Development (CEED) Program Projects

The ECAM Division is requesting applications from Indian Nations, Tribes, or Pueblos; county or municipal governments; and Housing New Mexico | MFA for CEED Program projects to provide improvements to residential buildings in underserved communities in New Mexico that will in the aggregate, decrease residents’ energy use, energy burden, and/or carbon intensity of energy consumption.

Community energy efficiency projects will target the adoption of energy-efficient consumer behavior, equipment, or devices that result in a decrease in energy consumption without reducing the amount or quality of energy services. This includes health and safety measures, including those that use efficient equipment or devices to improve indoor air or drinking water quality, and equipment or electrification upgrades.

Applications must be complete and submitted by September 30, 2025. Prospective applicants will be able to ask questions leading up to the RFA deadline. A non-mandatory pre-proposal information session was held at 3:00 p.m. on August 8, 2025 via Microsoft Teams (see below for recording). 

ECAM may award multiple agreements under this RFA. To be considered for funding, applications must demonstrate that the project will meet all of the RFA evaluation criteria.

Closes – September 30, 2025 at 5:00pm MT.

• Application packages contain application and attachments (Budget, Grant of Authority progress—see links to documents at the CEED Program page here) and must be submitted via email in PDF format to EMNRD-CEED@state.nm.us.

Questions concerning this RFA should be submitted electronically in writing with “CEED 2025 RFA” in the subject header to:
