State Facility Energy Improvement Program

March 21, 2013

Summary

North Dakota's State Facility Energy Improvement Program provides grant funding to state institutions and agencies for the installation and implementation of energy-efficiency measures. An energy audit is required to identify potential energy conservation measures, respective costs, energy savings and payback periods. The state will cover half the cost -- up to $50,000 -- of an energy audit. Energy-efficiency measures recommended by the audit and approved by the state will be funded.

Past grants have supported energy conservation measures at state-funded colleges and universities, buildings in the Capitol Complex, the State Penitentiary and the North Dakota Department of Transportation.
