WASHINGTON -- Tennessee will receive $161.6 million for weatherization and energy efficiency as part of the economic stimulus legislation, the White House announced Thursday.
A total of $8 billion nationwide was included in the legislation. Tennessee's total includes $99.1 million for the weatherization assistance program and $62.5 million for the state's energy program.
The weatherization program allows low-income families to reduce their energy bills by making their homes more efficient. The energy bill provides rebates to consumers for energy audits; development of renewable energy projects; promotion of energy efficient products; and upgrades to state and local government buildings.
