HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Department of Environmental Protection has awarded $293,889 in grants to help 46 small businesses around the state invest in energy efficiency or pollution prevention projects.

“This program empowers small-business owners to invest in important upgrades that make the most sense for their business,” DEP Secretary Mike Krancer said. “It gives them the opportunity to lower the costs of production, which makes them better environmental stewards and more competitive.”

Pennsylvania’s Small Business Advantage Grant Program provides small businesses with fewer than 100 employees 50-percent matching reimbursement grants of up to $7,500 to implement projects that will save $1,000, in addition to 25 percent annually in pollution prevention or energy-related costs. Since 2004, the program has invested $5.3 million in 1,451 small businesses.

Examples of eligible projects include High Efficiency HVAC and insulation upgrades for new businesses; high-efficiency lighting to save energy; installation of energy-efficient heat pumps; and new auxiliary power units that help large trucks reduce time spent with idling engines.

For more information about the Small Business Advantage Grant Program, contact DEP’s Small Business Ombudsman’s Office at 717-772-8909 or via email at epadvantagegrant@pa.gov.
