Description
Once barriers to existing energy efficiency programs are identified (under Strategy EB-9), the City will partner with the Carmel Green Initiative and Hand, Inc. to support the potential creation of a grant program to help residents and businesses overcome cost barriers that existing programs cannot currently cover. The grant money would fund energy efficiency projects and upgrades including lighting, HVAC, heat pumps, insulation, and ductwork. The purpose of this strategy is to accompany existing rebates Duke Energy, AES Indiana, and CenterPoint Energy currently offer to alleviate cost burden.
