Measured data for public funding applications by counties, cities and utilities.
Funding programs ask for the current condition before a project and the result after it. Aqueduct supplies a measured baseline and verified results. It does not give funding advice or decide eligibility.
Programs public owners ask about.
| Program | Date | What it funds |
|---|---|---|
| EECBG, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law | Announced December 2022 | Formula and competitive grants for efficiency projects |
| IRA elective pay | Tax years after 31 December 2022 | Clean energy credits paid directly to public and tax exempt owners |
| Performance contracts (ESPC) | Ongoing | Savings guaranteed and measured, usually under IPMVP |
| State revolving funds and WIFIA | Ongoing | Loans for water and wastewater infrastructure |

Common questions
No. Your grants team decides which programs fit and applies. Aqueduct supplies the measured before and after data that applications and progress reports ask for, such as an EECBG project baseline or a performance contract savings record, so figures are not rebuilt each cycle.
On day one, when 6 to 12 months of utility bills are loaded. Aqueduct fits the baseline on those bills and local cooling and heating degree days, then refines it as interval meter data arrives, so a pre-project condition exists before any hardware goes in.
It can supply the evidence. Aqueduct measures real losses per district and pump energy per volume pumped, which describes the condition a mains or pump project is meant to fix and later shows the result. Your utility decides eligibility and applies. See state revolving funds and WIFIA.
Yes. Aqueduct reports avoided energy against a weather-normalized whole-facility baseline, the approach IPMVP Option C uses, with command history showing each measure ran. The ESCO and the agency then work from the same measured numbers. See ESPC and UESC.
