Energy Technical Assistance and Planning for New Hampshire Communities (ETAP)
The Energy Technical Assistance and Planning for New Hampshire Communities (ETAP) is
a two year program providing energy efficiency technical assistance at no charge to
municipalities and counties in New Hampshire. ETAP’s goal is to advance energy efficiency in all
New Hampshire municipalities and provide the tools communities need to monitor energy
performance. ETAP is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of
2009 and administered through New Hampshire’s Office of Energy and Planning.
The ETAP team is comprised of staff from twelve organizations: CLF Ventures, the non-profit consulting
affiliate of the Conservation Law Foundation; Peregrine Energy Group, Inc., an energy consulting firm;
the non-profit Clean Air-Cool Planet and the nine New Hampshire Regional Planning Commissions.
The program is open to all NH towns, cities, and counties. Over the next two years, ETAP will:
- Assist participating NH communities to track and understand energy consumption in municipal and county buildings and other major energy uses
- Provide a web-based tool to communities to benchmark energy performance
- Work with communities to identify and prioritize energy cost reduction opportunities
- Help develop strategies for energy cost reduction and secure technical and financial resources needed to realize energy savings
Energy Technical Assistance available to participants includes:
- Energy efficiency planning based on the NH Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Energy (EESE) board “roadmap” through
