Grants Offered for Large Renewable Energy Projects

By Anonymous

Madison, Wisconsin Focus on Energy, Wisconsin’s energy efficiency and renewable energy initiative, is offering $1.3 million in grants to finance the installation of large innovative renewable energy systems. Grants will be awarded to projects in several categories: Industrial or Municipal Anaerobic Digesters; Biomass Combustion; Solar Water Heating; Solar Electric; and Wind Energy. “These grants offer a one time opportunity for businesses and nonprofits to apply for projects that are twice as large as those normally accepted by Focus on Energy,” says Don Wichert, Program Director for Focus on Energy’s Renewable Energy Program. “We believe there is an emerging demand for renewable energy systems at this larger level, offering businesses a way to mitigate the effects of fossil fuel-based energy use, reduce pollution and lessen America’s dependence on energy from overseas.” For more information, call (800) 762-7077, or visit www.focusonenergy.com.
