Ohio industrial energy efficiency grants

The Ohio Department of Development’s Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) awards grants for energy efficiency projects in commercial and industrial facilities within the state. Qualifying projects currently can receive up to 10 percent of the project value, with a cap of $50,000.  

Incentive funds are limited. Qualifying applications will be funded until all program funds are awarded. Applicants will be required to complete an EnVinta diagnostic assessment and contract for follow-up activities promoting energy plan development and technical assessment. 

Applicants are encouraged to finance the balance of the project cost using an Energy Loan Fund (ELF) linked deposit or direct loan.

Ohio energy loan funds

In cooperation with private lenders, ODOD's Office of Energy Efficiency also facilitates reduced interest loans which qualified Ohio businesses and institutions can use to reduce energy costs, manage energy use and install renewable energy technologies.
