The 2021 GREEN Grant Competition is NOW OPEN!

Emerald’s annual GREEN Grant opportunity is a program that provides funding for the construction of new, non‐residential, renewable energy projects for eligible customer‐owners. Funding for the grant opportunity is derived from Emerald’s voluntary GREEN program by which customers can choose to support renewable energy development both in the Pacific Northwest and in our own communities. GREEN program participants have the opportunity every year to select their favorite project to receive the grant funds.

The organization does not need to own its building to apply for a GREEN grant.

Previous winners include Creswell Food Pantry, Lost Valley Education and Event Center, Pleasant Hill School District, and Mid Lane Cares (pictured above), and The Love Project Food Pantry.

WIN UP TO $40,000 IN FUNDING FOR YOUR PROJECT!

To be eligible for the GREEN Grant, your:

Organization must be an Emerald PUD customer-owner and a non-profit organization, academic institution, or public institution.
Project must be a renewable energy project that is directly related to Emerald’s vision to improve the lives of customers by delivering reliable utility services.

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.
