Energy Efficiency Grant Programs
Renewable Energy Grant
Naperville’s Renewable Energy Program enables residential and business electric customers to make voluntary monthly donations through their electric bills to support the City’s investment in renewable energy. Through effective in-house management of the program, the City has been able to save money and is investing it back into the community through Renewable Energy Grants.
IMEA Electric Efficiency Grants
The Illinois Municipal Electric Agency (IMEA) has awarded the City of Naperville a three-year grant to be used for energy improvements.
Year 1 (2022): $344,256 was available for our nonresidential Electric Utility customers as incentives toward completing energy efficiency projects.
Year 2 (2023): $337,950 was available for nonresidential customer grants for energy improvements.
Year 3 (2024): $342,364 is available for nonresidential customer grants for energy improvements.
The IMEA Electric Efficiency Program helps IMEA member cities like Naperville and their customers reduce their electric demand and consumption, thereby reducing wholesale power costs. This allows members to shift dollars for other needs and to enhance their economic climate by making utility costs more affordable for established and potential businesses.
