American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - State Energy Program 

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) strengthens Ohio's economy by building upon its strategic investments in the advanced energy industries. The State Energy Program, one of many programs receiving funding through ARRA, will enable Ohio to stimulate the creation and retention of jobs, save energy, increase renewable energy generation, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

On May 12, 2009, the State of Ohio filed its proposal for use of the $96 million. On June 26, 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy approved the plan and awarded funds.
