I am interested in starting a business based on renewable energy sources. Are there grants or government monies available to help me start this venture?
There are state and federal resources that may be of interest to you.
Although Focus on Energy does not have specific incentives or resources to assist entrepreneurs and start-up businesses, there are a number of state and federal resources that may be of interest to you such as the State of Wisconsin’s Division Development or the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Focus on Energy’s primary focus is in assisting home and business owners in implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy projects by providing information, technical assistance, and financial incentives to help them reach their energy goals. Focus on Energy also works directly with the trade allies who sell or deliver energy efficient or renewable goods and services to the home and business owners Focus on Energy supports. Focus on Energy business program allies and/or residential delivery allies can benefit from:
- All the latest news on Focus incentives and special offers as well as a subscription to our Energy Partner eNewsletter
- Access to cooperative advertising dollars to help promote your business
- Unbiased expertise to help you with energy-related projects
- A listing on Find it with Focus, Focus on Energy's go-to directory for customers to find the contractors and incentives to make their projects a reality
- A competitive advantage by partnering with Wisconsin's statewide program for energy efficiency and renewable energy
Once established, we encourage you to consider partnering with the Focus on Energy.
