Enigin Update - Energy Efficiency Funding for Pennsylvania’s Small Businesses
SMALL business owners in Pennsylvania, U.S., looking to improve their energy efficiency have been given a financial incentive.
Businesses looking to cut emissions and save money via improved energy efficiency are eligible to apply for a Small Business Advantage Grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Businesses can apply for 50-percent matching grants of up to $7,500 to adopt or acquire energy-efficient equipment or processes.
“This program provides small-business owners with the opportunity to invest in an energy efficiency....project beneficial for their own specific business,” DEP Secretary Mike Krancer said. “Energy efficiency projects cut costs, increase profitability and protect our environment.”
Applicants must be a for-profit corporation, LLC, partnership, sole proprietorship or other legal entity with 100 or fewer full-time employees. The grant-supported project must be located within a Pennsylvania facility owned by the applicant and must save the business at least 25 percent, plus $1,000 annually in energy- or pollution-related expenses.
Applicants may be manufacturers, retailers, service providers, mining operators or agricultural businesses.
The application deadline is August 29. Eligible applications will be approved on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted.
Enigin Distributors encourage local businesses to tap into all forms of financial assistance to be able to benefit from energy efficiency technology from Enigin - reducing emissions and cutting energy costs.
