The Phoenix Central Neighborhood Association members may benefit from a new program called Energize Phoenix. The Energize Phoenix Program is funded by a $25 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and U.S. Department of Energy grant received by the city of Phoenix in partnership with Arizona State University and Arizona Public Service.
The Energize Phoenix program offers incentives to pay for up to 100% of your energy saving projects for multi-family apartment complex owners, depending on the income qualifications of the tenants in the building(s). The Energize Phoenix Rental Program will provide conditional grant funding for energy efficiency projects that include items such as heating and cooling systems, lighting, duct leakage repair, air sealing, shade screens and solar water heaters. Energy efficiency upgrades may save up to 30% on monthly utility bills. These small changes equate to BIG savings! The Rental Program is currently available for property owners of multi-family apartment complexes located within the Energize Phoenix Corridor.
We are also excited to announce that the Residential Rebate Match component of the Energize Phoenix Program is now available! As a reminder, Energize Phoenix offers a range of incentives to help pay for energy saving projects for residential APS customers residing in owner-occupied single-family homes located within the Energize Phoenix Corridor, a 10-mile stretch along the light rail line. The Energize Phoenix Program leverages the APS Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® rebate program by providing a matching rebate (not to exceed 100% of the total project costs) for energy efficiency projects.
OTHER RESIDENTIAL ENERGIZE PHOENIX COMPONENTS
The 60/40 Program provides a conditional grant for 60 percent of eligible energy efficiency project costs and 40 percent provided by the homeowner, which may be obtained through Energize Phoenix financing. The 60/40 Program is available to homeowners that meet specific income requirements within the Energize Phoenix Corridor. The program will be available in the coming months. Contact staff to discuss program eligibility requirements and to be placed on the interest list.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience so that I may explain the program in detail and answer any of your questions. I look forward to helping you save money by saving energy!
