University receives incentive check
Nov 30, 2012
Grand Valley received an incentive rebate check for $116,280 from
Consumers Energy as part of the utility’s Energy Efficiency program, a
key component of Michigan’s energy reform law. A check was presented
to Facilities Services on November 30.
The university received the rebate for installing two new
high-efficiency chillers at the Central Utilities Building on the
Allendale Campus. The improvements are expected to save Grand Valley
195,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually. The incentives are
offered under the Clean, Renewable, and Efficient Energy Act of 2008.
Grand Valley has been an active participant in the Energy
Efficiency program. Since 2009, the university has either completed or
has underway 33 projects totaling nearly $300,000 in potential Energy
Efficiency incentives and potentially will save Grand Valley more than
2.6 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
