Quick Start Grants
The Quick Start Grant (QSG) program is designed to fund targeted, innovative pilots that test approaches to overcoming market barriers to heat pump space and water heating adoption. By testing these transformation approaches, the QSG program will promote the development and refinement of interventions that can be scaled into statewide solutions.
Climate Resolve launches March 1st, 2023, while the other 6 pilots launch February 1st, 2023.
Here are the first round of projects that have received funding for their innovative approaches to accelerating heat pump adoption.
