Are there funding or financing programs available to implement energy savings programs?
Step Two of the KEEPS Energy Management Process includes information on different financing mechanisms that can be used for energy projects, including energy performance contracting, leasing and low-interest capital loans. You should also check with your utility account representatives to see if any incentives are offered at the local utility level. Most state and federal energy project incentives are tax-based incentives and therefore not applicable to school systems.
