Representative Ann Kirkpatrick announces that the US Energy Department is making more than $22 million available to invest in renewable energy and energy efficiency in Arizona. The grant will allow Arizona to establish a revolving loan program for small business owners who are interested in improving energy efficiency or installing solar capicity for their facilities. Kirkpatrick says thse programs will help support Arizona’s renewable energy manufacturerers and bring new green jobs to the state.
Arizona has already received around $5.8 million to help plan its State Energy program. The state will be eligible for $27 million more once it can demonstrate that its efforts to advance renewable energy and energy efficiency have been successful.
