The Geothermal Energy Grant Program (GEGP) provides grants that support the use of zero-emission, geothermal energy for electricity generation and space/water heating and cooling in homes, businesses, and communities. Grants are intended for the installation of ground-source heat pumps within groups of individual residential buildings or for individual nonresidential buildings, interconnected geothermal exchange systems (community district heating; thermal energy networks), and geothermal electricity projects.
Private entities: Building owners, developers, geothermal installers, contractors, communities, public service utilities (gas & electric), college or university campuses, and others (approved by program); Local Governments: statutory or home rule municipalities, counties, city and counties, or special districts; Public-Private Partnerships: partnerships between a local government and a private entity.
