North Country Clean Energy Hub Invites Contractors to Apply for Grant Opportunity
Up to $25K incentive available for energy efficiency contractors to expand services
SARANAC LAKE — The North Country Clean Energy Hub is offering grants for North Country building contractors to provide or expand energy efficiency or building auditing services for residents and businesses. In coordination with the New York state Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) EmPower program, the Hub anticipates awarding a minimum of two contractors individual awards of up to $25,000. Empower helps low- and moderate-income households save energy and money through energy efficient home upgrades.
The grant opportunity, which will be administered by the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA), is aimed at providing services to critical areas in Clinton, northern Franklin, and northern St. Lawrence Counties. Applications must be submitted by March 28.
Empower is the primary avenue for low- and moderate-income households to access state and federal incentives for home energy efficiency improvements.
“This is a great opportunity for local contractors to expand their business or diversify their offerings while meeting a critical need for area residents,” said ANCA’s North Country Clean Energy Hub Director, Erin Griffin.
