SBS-Funded Projects
In 2005, SBS began an RFP process that would identify near-term technologies and commercial opportunities that would potentially grow the Renewable Energy industry sector in Mississippi. As a result, SBS has managed and funded 17 renewable energy projects. Projects consisted of a mix of Technical Assistance projects; Applied R&D projects and Commercialization and Demonstration projects.
