Updates on Energy Fund Available
Homeowners, businesses and local governments looking for new ways to conserve energy and reduce their energy costs can now register online for updates on the state's new $650 million Alternative Energy Investment Fund, according to State Senator Joe Scarnati (R-Jefferson).
Scarnati, who strongly supported Special Session Act 1 of 2008 creating the fund, said a number of rebates and other financial incentives are included in the new $650 million program, and he wants consumers to take advantage of them.
“This program can help residents and companies save money, and conserve energy at the same time,” Scarnati said. “Consumers are looking for ways to cut their energy costs, and this fund can help them take advantage of new, more cost-effective energy sources.”
Scarnati said the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will provide email updates on the different programs, including how to apply for funding.
To register, go to www.depweb.state.pa.us and click on the "Fueling Energy Savings" icon, then click on the green envelope icon on the left-hand side of the page.
The fund will provide $500 million in grants and loans to implement alternative and renewable energy sources, construct green buildings, help low-income consumers, and promote cleaner energy generators. In addition, $150 million will support energy-efficiency projects, such as home weatherization.
“I urge folks to sign up for these updates, and look for new ways to cut their energy bills and make their homes and businesses more energy efficient,” Scarnati said. “With the rising cost of energy, this is an important way to save money.”
