Grants for Businesses and Organizations Available from GEO

The Governor’s Energy Office of Colorado (GEO) has announced its American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) Grant Funding Schedule for 2010. Businesses and cities in United Power’s service territory may be eligible for funding to make energy efficient or renewable energy upgrades to facilities, to start new programs in the local community or to bring new technology to the marketplace.  GEO plans to hold a webinar for each grant solicitation and questions about grant criteria and the application will be answered at that time. Please visit the GEO website for the complete schedule of 2010 grant opportunities and more information on grant opportunities.
