Cartersville Electric Gets Grant

With a GEFA grant it received through Electric Cities of Georgia, Cartersville Electric System is set to offer customers incentives and rebates.

The Green Street grant is funded through the Georgia State Energy Program and administered by GEFA for a Residential Energy Efficiency program. In all, ECG received $500,000 in funding and Cartersville Electric System received $38,300 of that funding. 

Green Street is a coordinated residential energy efficiency program for Georgia’s public power utilities that reinforces the community focus of Cartersville Electric. It also demonstrates an interest and commitment to the environmental issues that concern our residential customers. 

Cartersville Electric System is participating in several aspects of the grant including Walk-Through Residential Audits, Green Street Performance Home Assessments, Residential On-Line Audits, Energy Audit Training and Software, Customer Financial Incentives and Program Development and Management. 

Director David Myers and Key Accounts Manager Tamara Brock have worked on the Customer Financial Incentives and Rebates aspects of the grant in which Cartersville Electric residential customers will receive rebates for building envelope improvements, purchasing Energy Star appliances, conducting a Green Street Performance Home Assessment, installing high efficiency water heaters and conducting heating and AC upgrades. There is an application process for the incentives and rebates that must be completed prior to a purchase or rebate reimbursement. All Green Street monies must be spent by Dec. 31.
