New Hampshire to Get $12.5 Million for Energy Efficiency and Conservation

The US Department of Energy has announced it is releasing $3.2 billion for energy efficiency and conservation projects across the country.

It's part of what's known as the economic stimulus package.

New Hampshire stands to get about 12 and a half million of it.

About 75 percent is coming to the state for its own projects and also to be distributed to smaller towns.

Some 3 million dollars of it is going directly to the state's ten largest municipalities.

As part of our ongoing series Working it Out, NHPR's Mark Bevis checks in with Eric Steltzer at the Office of Energy and Planning to find out what projects are likely to get funded.
