Small Business Energy Efficiency Grant Program

Helping Rhode Island small businesses save energy, cut costs, and build a more sustainable future.

The Rhode Island Commerce Small Business Energy Efficiency Grant Program is a new statewide initiative designed to help small businesses reduce their energy costs by investing in energy-efficient upgrades.

Through this program, eligible small businesses can receive up to $20,000 in reimbursements for energy efficiency measures recommended through a professional energy audit.

Why It Matters

Energy efficiency means using less electricity to perform the same tasks—reducing your utility bills while supporting a cleaner energy future. By investing in efficiency, small businesses can:

  • Lower monthly energy expenses
  • Improve comfort and performance in their workspaces
  • Contribute to Rhode Island’s clean energy goals
  • Reduce reliance on fossil fuels as demand grows

This effort is a partnership between Rhode Island Commerce, Rhode Island Energy, RISE Engineering, and the Rhode Island Executive Climate Change Coordinating Council (EC4).
