What are energy efficiency grants?
Energy efficiency grants help businesses and homeowners pay for upgrades that reduce energy consumption. This includes solar panels, LED lighting, efficient HVAC systems, and insulation. These grants reduce both your energy bills and your environmental impact.
Who is eligible?
Eligibility varies by program. Many are available to small businesses, nonprofits, and homeowners. Some programs target low-income households or specific regions. Check with your utility company and state energy office for available programs.
How much can I save?
Grants can cover 20% to 50% of the cost of energy upgrades. Combined with tax credits and utility rebates, you can significantly reduce the upfront cost of going green. Over time, lower energy bills can pay for the remaining cost.
