State Energy Office announces
free technical assistance program for local governments
The North Carolina Energy Office has designated 37 firms to
provide technical assistance to state agencies, UNC system institutions,
community colleges, public schools and local governments with creating a
strategic energy plan, responding to the project request for proposals (RFP),
performing preliminary and detailed energy surveys and project measurement and
verification. These government entities can apply to the N.C. Energy Office to
have one of the designated firms provide assistance. The fee for this Technical
Service will be paid by the SEO through ARRA funding. Governmental entities are
free to select any other firm not on the list, however they will be responsible
for any expense associated with their selection.
Government entities must submit a strategic energy plan with their RFP response
to be considered for an award. An
application must be
completed to access the technical assistance. A list of the firms designated to
provide technical assistance, and the areas for which they have been approved to provide
service, is included in the application packet.
