Government

From policy to project implementation, we help government organizations launch and sustain green initiatives that help best meet goals and serve your constituents.

Government

Federal, state, local and community governments are achieving the fiscal advantages of CleanTech. By implementing green building, self generation and general energy and water management technologies, including smart grid, governmental organizations can: Example: State of Minnesota, USA
Energy Saving Audits

Non-profits, Schools and Governmental customers will be eligible for 100% energy audit reimbursements not to exceed $610 per building under 25,000 square feet, and $850 for buildings over 25,000 square feet. Customers not included in the non-profit group are eligible for an incentive equal to 50% of the audit cost up to $305 per building under 25,000 square feet, and $425 for buildings over 25,000 square feet.

Mandates driving change

In the US, there is a proposed bill that would gradually increase electricity from renewable sources from 4 percent by 2012 up to 20 percent in 2021. California law already requires utilities to produce 20 percent of their power by renewables by 2010 growing to 33 percent by 2020.

In Europe, the EU has mandated that, by the year 2020, at least 16 percent of a European's energy consumption should be from renewable sources. The EU is helping to fund the change by paying for up to 70 percent of the bill or 200,000 euros, whichever comes first.

In Asia, the leading energy consumer, China, has established what it calls "the world's most aggressive energy efficiency target." This target entails a 20 percent reduction in energy intensity (which is a nation's energy consumption per unit of GDP) between 2005 and 2010. If fully implemented, this target would translate to a reduction of over 1.5 billion tons of CO2 in just five years. In comparison, the EU commitment under Kyoto is about 300 million tons of CO2 between 1997 and 2012.
