Anaheim Businesses Can Receive Up To $100,000 for Bright Ideas

CALIFORNIA, ANAHEIM, Feb. 25 -/E-Wire/-- Local businesses have until April 30, 2002 to apply for Anaheim Public Utilities' Innovative Energy Technologies (IET) incentives program.

The IET program gives business customers the option to plan and develop their own energy-related projects that fall within the following categories: energy-efficient technologies, renewables, and product development and demonstration. It provides flexibility to business customers by allowing them to tailor projects to their individual needs.

Under the program, Anaheim Public Utilities will award funding up to 75 percent of the project cost, not to exceed $100,000 per project. Project applications are evaluated based on judging criteria, which includes concept description, electricity-related innovation, energy savings, environmental impacts, economic competitiveness, commercialization/technology transfer, and community benefits.

Since 1999, Anaheim Public Utilities has awarded two rounds of funding totaling over $850,000 for 10 projects. Previous projects include a new battery formation process, development of an electric molded-fiber production line, advanced electric service vehicles, an energy curriculum for high school students, and testing of a new anodizing acid recovery system.

For more information about the IET program, call Dukku Lee at (714) 765-4126 or log onto the City's website at www.anaheim.net, and click on Public Utilities and then Advantage Services.
