IDAHO BUSINESSES TO USE NEW ENERGY SYSTEMS  


Crapo announces renewable energy grants in four cities  


 

Boise - Four Idaho businesses have been rewarded for renewable energy
planning and will split federal grant dollars totaling nearly $300,000,
according to Idaho Senator Mike Crapo.  The funding comes through USDA
Rural Development's Section 9006 Renewable Energy Systems and Energy
Efficiency Improvements Program.  

 

"Idaho businesses have always been innovative, and these energy upgrades
will save money and power and expand the use of renewable energy in
Idaho," noted Crapo, a member of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and
Forestry Committee and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Rural
Revitalization, Conservation, Forestry and Credit.  "The grant monies
will be used to encourage conservation in some businesses, while others
are moving toward renewable and alternative sources like solar to
provide the energy needed to operate."

 

The Section 9006 Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency
Improvements Program will spend close to $300,000 in Idaho to help
Idahoans accomplish the following upgrades in Coeur d'Alene, Moscow,
Mountain Home and Twin Falls:

 

Coeur d'Alene         Runge Furniture Company   $6,237 for
energy-efficient lighting

 

Moscow                    Camas Winery                      $23,192 for
solar energy installation

 

Mountain Home      Towne Center Motel             $8,277 for solar hot
water system

 

Twin Falls                 Gordon Paving Company    $250,000 for
upgrades to hot plant
