Me2 Offers Substantial Energy Efficiency Incentives to Businesses
The Milwaukee Energy Efficiency Program (Me2) provides unprecedented rebates and financing to make green buildings affordable in the City of Milwaukee. Mayor Tom Barrett recognizes the economic development potential of green buildings. The City of Milwaukee is taking the national Better Buildings Challenge to cut its energy use by 20% by 2020, and he is challenging the business community to do the same. The City of Milwaukee is putting resources behind this challenge. With help from the Milwaukee Energy Efficiency program, Me², businesses can more easily implement energy-efficiency projects and take control of energy costs. Whether your business is a corner convenience store or in a large downtown office building, Me² has the resources and expertise to help you make energy- and money-saving upgrades, like new lighting, HVAC, and refrigeration equipment. Me² is made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Millions of dollars are available to support energy efficiency retrofits of existing buildings in the City of Milwaukee. For small businesses, Me2 can pay for up to 60% of an energy efficiency retrofit, up to $30,000, and for large properties, the program can pay up to $300,000. Incentives are based on the cost of the project and the energy savings associated with it.
A free presentation is planned for Thursday September 6th, from 11:30 am - 1 pm, sponsored by Me2, which will include a lunch. The location will be:
Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corp
234 W. Florida St, Suite 304, Milwaukee, WI 53204
Erick Shambarger, Deputy Director of Environmental Sustainability for the City of Milwaukee, will explain how the Me2 program works and how you can take advantage of this historic opportunity to make your buildings more energy efficient with help from the City of Milwaukee's Me2 incentive and rebate program.
