Utility Incentive Programs for Energy Conservation – Grants and Rebates
Design-Aire Engineering’s (DAE) Energy Services division will find utility incentive programs to reduce the total project cost of the energy conservation measures in the energy audit and thereby reduce the overall project payback.
Grants
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers energy efficiency grants up to $250,000 and $500,000, respectively for energy conservation measures in private correctional facilities.
Some states offer grants for alternative energy up to $500,000 for solar and wind projects that generate reduce electricity or natural gas consumption. For example, Wallkill Correctional Facility in New York state received a grant for 78% of a solar project that will reduce the cost for domestic hot water by over $16,000/yr.
