The Alabama News Center — Gov. Ivey awards grants for energy upgrades at local government, nonprofit facilities throughout Alabama

By: Alabama News Center Staff

Gov. Kay Ivey has awarded 16 grants totaling close to $700,000 to make upgrades to lighting, heating and air conditioning, and wastewater treatment systems at facilities operated by local governments, utilities and nonprofit organizations across the state.

The purpose of these State Energy Program grants is to reduce energy waste and lower utility costs by replacing outdated systems with equipment that is more energy efficient.

“These grants provide a practical and long-term solution to high energy costs for public and nonprofit agencies that often operate with limited funds,” Ivey said. “These upgrades will be a boon for budgets and in many cases will directly improve services the organizations offer.”
