In partnership with the Kauaʻi Economic Development Board (KEDB) and the Kauaʻi Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC), the County of Kauaʻi Office of Economic Development is excited to announce the launch of the Kauaʻi Small Business Energy Efficiency Grant (SBEEG).
This grant will operate alongside KIUC’s Commercial Retrofit Program, which provides funding for efficiency upgrades, including air conditioning, lighting, motors, and refrigeration. This grant, managed by KEDB, will cover a percentage of labor costs associated with energy efficiency upgrades, while KIUC’s program can cover a percentage of materials costs for eligible projects.
The SBEEG program is intended for small businesses, who may face more upfront financial hurdles when retrofitting, and eligibility is limited to businesses that fall under KIUC Rate Schedule’s J or G.
NOTE: In case you missed it, the deadline for the Kauaʻi Small Business Energy Efficiency Grant (SBEEG) has been extended and will continue as long as funds are available for the 2025 program year. Visit the program website and apply online then email KIUC at energyservices@kiuc.coop.
