Energy-Efficiency Funds and Demand Response Programs, Wyoming
Updated July 2007
What public-purpose-funded energy efficiency programs are available in my state?
Wyoming has no public-purpose-funded energy efficiency programs.
What utility energy efficiency programs are available to me?
PacifiCorp/Rocky Mountain Power offers the Energy FinAnswer program, which provides advice to customers on energy-efficiency upgrades to systems such as lighting, compressed air, refrigeration, heating and cooling, and pumping, and helps finance the retrofits with low-interest loans. New construction projects are also eligible.
What load management/demand response options are available to me?
PacifiCorp/Rocky Mountain Power offers the Energy Exchange program, an internet-based, voluntary demand reduction program. PacifiCorp posts a price for each hour in which load reductions are needed, and customers may respond by pledging to curtail a specified amount of their load. Participants are paid the posted price per unit of measured energy reduction in each hour of the curtailment. Eligibility is limited to customers with at least 1 MW of connected load.
What distributed energy resource options are available to me?
The Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE) provides information on programs that offer incentives for renewable distributed generation. Wyoming currently has no programs of this type open to federal customers.
Are there energy efficiency programs sponsored by the state government?
Wyoming's state government does not currently offer any energy efficiency programs applicable to federal customers. For information on potential future opportunities, contact the the Wyoming Business Council.
What additional opportunities are available to me?
Federal customers whose utilities have area-wide contracts with GSA and, by extension, all other federal agencies (e.g., Cheyenne Light, Fuel & Power, and Montana-Dakota Utilities), may take advantage of additional energy efficiency opportunities. Agencies should contact their account executive to determine the level of participation by their local utility.
