Facility Improvement Expense Reduction Program
The Facility Improvement Expense Reduction program (FIXR) Program supports eligible public entities to implement certain projects that meaningfully increase energy efficiency and build on the success of other energy efficiency programs.
The Government Leading by Example Program (GLBE) provides financial assistance to rural communities to conduct energy audits to discover potential efficiency upgrades within publicly owned facilities to save taxpayer dollars.
Idaho Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
The Idaho Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program (EECBG) is helping local governments promote energy efficiency and conservation practices while addressing the needs of growing communities, reducing tax burdens, and keeping energy rates low.
The State Energy Loan Program is one of OEMR’s longest running and widely used programs. Since the 1980s, it has provided low-interest loans to support energy projects for homes and businesses throughout Idaho. Eligible projects include HVAC replacement, efficient lighting, insulation, windows, weatherization, appliances, and other renewable energy projects.
Idaho Energy Resiliency Grant Program
The Idaho Energy Resiliency Grant Program (ERGP) promotes strategic investments that achieve measurable enhancements to grid resilience, modernize grid infrastructure, and mitigate risks associated with increased electrification and disruptive events. Funded by both state and federal sources, ERGP aims to strengthen Idaho’s electric grid.
K-12 Energy Enhancement Program
The K-12 Energy Enhancement Program (KEEP) assists eligible public K-12 schools that reside in rural school districts to implement projects to reduce energy and tax burdens, increase energy resilience, and increase energy savings. Application period now open!
Wildfire Resilience Investment Program
The Wildfire Resilience Investment Program (WRIP) invests in electric utility technologies and infrastructure to monitor, mitigate, and mobilize against wildfires. WRIP’s goals include investing in long-term strategic projects that mitigate wildfire risk in Idaho, supporting utilities with high wildfire risk exposure and capital limitations, and rapidly deploying funding to Idaho’s electric utilities.
National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program
The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program was enabled through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and established by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to provide states with federal funding to strategically deploy EV charging infrastructure and establish an interconnected network of EV charging stations across the United States.
