Description

The State Energy Program (SEP) is a 30-year old program that is a basic state-federal partnership in the energy efficiency and renewable energy area. Throughout the years it has been successful in implementing programs and policies that have increased energy efficiency and the use of renewable resources. SEP has six projects that are consistent with the requirements issued by the U.S. Department of Energy.

These six projects are:

• State Building Energy Performance Contracting, for projects to make state buildings more energy efficient
• Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Schools, which will reduce energy consumption in Arizona Schools
• Distributed Energy Leadership Program which will increase or match incentives provided by the utilities for distributed energy, including solar water heating, solar PV, wind and combined heat and power projects
• Revolving Energy Loan Program which will act as a long term funding mechanism for energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements in commercial buildings, as well as provide loans to Arizona manufacturers of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies
• Agricultural Renewable Energy Conversion Incentive Program which will provide incentives to farmers and ranchers to reduce reliance on fossil fuels for agricultural production in rural Arizona
• 21st Century Energy Grants which will fund studies to develop new, significant solar, wind or other renewable energy systems on high profile public buildings and public spaces and a Bio-fuels Infrastructure Grant Program.
