Many businesses put off energy-efficiency projects because of high upfront costs. Yet with energy prices rising and operating expenses increasing, the need to conserve energy has never been more urgent. So, how can businesses make these upgrades affordable?
Did You Know…
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) offers funding through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program to help communities invest in energy-saving solutions.
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL):
“Funded by the DOE’s Office of State and Community Energy Programs, the EECBG program has allocated nearly $430 million in noncompetitive formula grant funding for energy-related projects and programs in communities. Recipients—including states, Tribes, and local governments—can use this flexible funding to reduce energy costs, improve energy efficiency, and create jobs.”
