Technical Assistance

Efficiency Maine offers incentives for Technical Assistance Studies to those customers that have already identified a project but need additional outside assistance to move it forward. Customers are guided through the process of developing the energy savings analyses and project cost estimates necessary for our Custom Program application. Efficiency Maine may provide up to 50% of the cost of an approved Technical Assistance Study up to $20,000.
