City of Alliance Provides Incentives for Energy Efficiency Upgrades

With fall approaching, it is a good time to make energy efficiency upgrades for cooler temperatures.

City of Alliance, in partnership with its wholesale electric power supplier, the Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska, provides a financial incentive for upgrading attic insulation to residential homes. The Attic Insulation Program provides cash incentives of $0.15/per square foot with a maximum incentive of $300 per existing residential dwelling for attic insulation.

The program is among a suite of five energy efficiency programs offered through the City of Alliance Utility Department. Each program provides cash incentives for homeowners to make energy efficiency upgrades.

The other programs include:

High Efficiency Heat-Up Program

Provides cash incentives from $400 to $3,000 to residential homeowners who are installing a new heat pump system to their residential single-family dwelling.

Smart Thermostat Program

Provides a cash incentive of up to $100 paid directly to residential customers to help cover the cost of installing a qualifying smart thermostat.

Cooling System Tune-Up Program

Provides a $30 cash incentive to residential homeowners who have their cooling system tuned up by a HVAC contractor, regardless of what type or age of cooling system (air conditioner/air or water source heat pump).

Commercial LED Lighting Program
