South Dakota will use its Recovery Act SEP funding to support the Energy Efficient Government program and a program to provide revolving energy loans to state institutions. The programs will promote energy efficiency efforts while reducing energy costs in state-owned buildings, which will directly benefit state residents. The state's energy office will administer the funds, provide technical guidance, and assure accountability and transparency for the state institutions who apply for the two programs. These programs coordinate with South Dakota's energy goals to promote and encourage energy conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and alternative fuels.
