Boston Globe: "US to provide energy surveys for 20 to 25 Valley businesses"
By David Rattigan, April 1, 2010. Energy efficiency has long been an issue on the Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce radar, as evidenced by its annual energy summit, the fourth of which is scheduled for this May 6.
“We’re in an area where a number of our businesses are very concerned about it,’’ said chamber president and CEO Joseph Bevilacqua, who noted that price jumps were making it difficult for companies to survive or plan for the future.
Coupled with support from state Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles, that interest is what led to an opportunity that made free comprehensive energy surveys available for 20 to 25 Merrimack Valley businesses, courtesy of the latest round of federal stimulus grants.
The chamber was one of five North region recipients in the recent round of grants. A total of $16.25 million went to 11 projects around the state, all aimed at stimulating the economy by supporting energy-conservation projects. With scheduled launches starting in April through June, the projects are expected to create about 485 jobs, according to a release from the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs.
The chamber received $500,000, most will go toward providing comprehensive energy analysis for local businesses. Grant partner Nexamp, Inc., of North Andover, a comprehensive clean energy company, will provide the analysis as well as an action plan for remediation.
