The grant project was designed to leverage federal, state and utility-sponsored incentive programmes such as proposed HomeStar and Cash for Caulkers initiatives.
The grant includes three project components: Home Energy Makeover Contest to increase homeowner demand for residential energy efficiency; Local Government Building Improvements with funding to accomplish energy audits, improve energy efficiency, and install renewable energy systems; and Community Workshops and Job Training to build demand for residential and commercial energy efficiency.
Wyoming Energy Council will oversee the grant project. Major project participants include Electric and Gas Industries Association, Wyoming Home Performance Alliance, and Wyoming Business Council’s State Energy Office. Letters of support were received from Building Performance Institute, GE, Western Area Power Administration, SourceGas, Rocky Mountain Power, and EnergyLogic.
