From the meeting
At its November 4, 2026 meeting the Climate, Energy and Utilities Committee asked the council to authorize an application to the National Lab of the Rockies for Energy Technology Innovation Partnership Project community technical assistance. The packet said Belfast had already received a $20,000 ETIPP grant in 2025 to create a Strategic Energy Plan and could receive an additional $30,000 if awarded. The plan was expected before year-end, and the committee was exploring resilience hubs with renewable energy and battery storage.
Decision state: application requested.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
