<p class="MsoNormal">There was talk yesterday about interest in solar from some state agencies. Here is a link to Energy Trust’s renewable energy assistance for public entities. You can get most of the cost for a feasibility study covered (I believe they cover
90% of the cost), and then they have incentives for installation. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please reach out to our office for any other questions or support.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And, if you are looking for Energy Trust support for reducing energy use and utility bills in your existing buildings, please reach out to Nikki Burton, who is our state government Energy Trust rep for existing buildings. She’s a tremendous
resource. They can offer <b><u>free</u></b> energy audits for your buildings as a starting point. <a href="mailto:nikkiburton@waypoint-energy.com">nikkiburton@waypoint-energy.com</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ODOE/DAS ODIEM energy group will have a lot more to say about these and other topics in their upcoming meetings on state building energy use. Please make sure your energy manager(s) are plugged in to that group (so to speak).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks- what a pleasure to see those who showed up yesterday. Keep up the great work!
