"THE GOVERNOR'S ENERGY
OFFICE SELECTS SOLAR INNOVATORS" DENVER -
The Governor's Energy
Office (GEO) today announced that four solar innovators were awarded grants to
promote new solar technologies and programs to benefit
Colorado's homes and business.
"These innovators are building Colorado's New
Energy Economy by developing projects that will harness
more of our state's
abundant solar resources," said
Tom Plant, director of the GEO.
The selected projects
will help train Colorado's solar energy workforce, provide solar for low-income
homes,
promote solar programs to utilities for Demand
Side Management programs, and create a solar utility co-op
farm.
All grant awards were contingent upon a 100% match from the applicant,

opportunities. The GEO granted $40,000. Contact:
