Alameda Municipal Power: Residential Energy Efficiency Program

Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) offers a grant to help residential customers with electric heat weatherize homes, replace old refrigerators with efficient models and recycle unused refrigerators. See the program web site for documentation and equipment requirements for refrigerators. To participate in the weatherization program, customers must complete and send in a Weatherization Cash Grant Application Form with landlord signature if applicant is a tenant. A pre-installation audit is required. Customers may call any contractor with a City of Alameda Business License to get an itemized bid. The completed project must be inspected by AMP and a copy of the paid invoice provided to AMP. AMP will then pay the contractor 80% of the cost up to $960 per single family unit or $480 per multifamily unit. The contractor will bill the customer or the landlord for the remaining 20%. All insulation and equipment requirements must be met in order to be eligible. AMP will also cover up to 70% of the project cost for customers who personally weatherize homes. Information for the Do-It-Yourself Weatherization Program is on the program web site listed above. Contact AMP regarding equipment and insulation requirements.
