As energy costs rise, municipalities are looking for solutions to lower utility bills, while also reducing emissions and increasing resilience. Local school districts are leading the way by seizing a major opportunity: federal energy tax credits.
These non-competitive, uncapped funds offset the cost of clean energy technologies installed by tax-exempt entities. Schools are leveraging the tax credit for ground-source heat pumps, a modern HVAC solution that cools down classrooms, lower costs, and reduces local air pollution. Hear about work in the Town of Agawam to incorporate this technology and maximize federal funding which remains available through 2034.
Leave this session with an understanding of the current state of play with federal energy tax credits, the ongoing opportunity with ground-source heat pumps, and ideas for how to help your community maximize federal dollars for clean energy projects.
