Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program

Financial Incentive Programs

The establishment of financial incentive programs for energy efficiency improvements can encourage your community to participate in energy efficiency programs. Financial incentive programs can lower the cost of energy efficiency and renewable energy, leverage public resources with private investments, exert a strong multiplier effect on investments, and allow investments to persist well beyond the life of a project by creating self-sustaining flows of funding. The money saved through energy efficiency can be reinvested into the program so that other projects can be implemented towards improving energy efficiency.

This project category includes programs such as revolving loan funds (RLF), as well as guaranteed and low-cost loan programs, on-bill financing strategies, and other innovative tools that encourage community members to make energy efficiency improvements.
