PA Energy Efficiency Funding Program for Families and Small Business

With the rising fuel costs and conventional energy prices at a record high, Pennsylvania State Government decided to step in to help hard working PA families conserve and use energy more efficiently.

The state is investing $665.9 million to spur the development of alternative and renewable energy sources.
From the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection website:

"The package includes incentives to help households and small businesses take advantage of solar energy technology - a key resource for reducing electricity demand during times of peak demand when rates are most expensive - and make improvements to their homes or buildings that conserve energy."

About $500 million will be offered as grants and loans to implement alternative and renewable energy sources, as well as construction of green buildings, assistance to low-income families, and to promote cleaner energy generators. An additional $150 million will support energy-efficiency projects, such as home weatherization.
