For Non-profits

Through a competitive bid process, WPPI Energy provides grants of up

development of selected projects specifically targeted at non-profit organizations, helping them lower their
energy costs and promote their environmental commitment.

needed to implement their renewable energy project and
meet their company financial hurdles.
• Projects must be located at and owned by the non-profit
entity for the duration of the project life.
• Projects must be interconnected to the member utility
distribution system and meet all regulatory or utility
requirements for interconnection.
• Projects must generate electrical energy. Examples
