MACED’s Energy Efficient Enterprises (E3) project works with small businesses and nonprofits to help them reduce energy use and operating expenses. We can help you spend less on electricity or gas by addressing:

• water heating

• refrigeration and more!

With MACED’s Enterprise Development team, we offer:

• an energy microloan for $10,000 or less for small energy efficiency projects and

• interest rate incentives for larger energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
