RG&E, NYSEG looking for energy conservation projects to fund
Posted by CITIZEN POWER ALLIANCE at 10:48 AMSister utility companies New York State Electric and Gas and Rochester Gas & Electric are looking for large-scale energy-saving proposals to fund.
The proposals must be from nonresidential customers or third-party aggregators working with those customers and be expected to save at least 100,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity by October 2012.
Proposals that save the most energy at the least cost will receive funding under the utility companies' block bidding program.
According to RG&E and NYSEG, programs that could receive funding might include large renovation projects that don't fit into existing NYSEG or RG&E lighting or rebate programs or aggregated bid of combined energy savings projects submitted by a third party from a number of customers.
To apply, go to www.rge.com or www.nyseg.com, click on "Energy Efficiency Initiatives" and then on "Block Bidding."
