Kansas will distribute its Recovery Act SEP funding to several initiatives that will benefit overall energy efficiency for commercial buildings, increase financial options for investing in renewable energy, and increase energy costs savings for individual home owners across the state. The funding will also be applied to develop a robust work force of energy auditors. A portion of the funding will go toward developing a new utility rate pricing plan as well as an energy audit rebate plan for home and small business owners. To improve the quality and breadth of the energy auditor industry in the state, Kansas will subsidize costly technical audit equipment and also provide scholarships for additional professional training.
