Our Commitment to Clean Energy
Emerald PUD has a long-standing commitment to our communities and to renewable energy. We have supported solar electric installations on our building and in several high schools we serve. We have also supported wind power and even biomethane energy production with the Short Mountain Methane Power Plant. (Learn more at our Short Mountain Landfill Gas page.)
The annual GREEN Grant provides eligible schools and non-profits an opportunity to win up to $40,000 in funding for the construction of new, non‐residential, renewable energy projects. Funding is provided by GREEN, EPUD’s voluntary customer program that allows customers to support renewable energy development in the Pacific Northwest and in our local communities.
The project that receives the grant funds is decided by a vote of current GREEN subscribers. Not a GREEN subscriber? Sign up today so you can vote too!
Congratulations to the Cottage Theatre in Cottage Grove for winning the 2026 GREEN Grant!
The 2026 GREEN Grant program is now closed. Watch for the 2027 GREEN Grant to open early next year!
