The Sustainable Energy Fund invites not-for-profit and governmental entities in Pennsylvania to apply for a limited number of loans or leases at zero percent financing to complete energy efficiency or renewable energy projects.
The deadline for applications is June 30. Successful applicants will be announced on July 31.
Projects must reduce energy consumption of non-sustainable resources or generate energy from sustainable resources. Projects may include solar photovoltaic, lighting retrofits, HVAC upgrades and building envelope improvements, among others.
Total available funding through the Sustainable Energy Finance Program is $425,000 with funding ranging from $5,000 to $85,000. All applications will be graded using a merit-based matrix.
"Every dollar a not-for-profit or governmental organization spends on energy is one less dollar they have to further their mission," commented John Costlow, Director of Technical Services, in making the announcement. "The Sustainable Energy Finance Program creates a low-cost opportunity for not-for-profits to reduce their energy consumption and reclaim those dollars in support of their programs."
