New Mexico Business Weekly - New Mexico will receive $715,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy to expand energy efficiency efforts in state buildings. The money will be used to bolster projects by the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, the Energy Conservation and Management Division (ECMD), the General Services Department (GSD), and the New Mexico Finance Authority. New Mexico was one of 13 states to receive funding following a winning proposal by the ECMD and GSD at the DOE’s 2012 State Energy Program Competitive Solicitation last spring. Winning proposals were judged on their ability to effectively demonstrate plans for programs that will increase energy efficiency in public buildings. New Mexico’s winning proposal was called “WISE,” or Whole-Building Investments in Sustainable Efficiency. “This award will help establish New Mexico state government as a leader in increasing energy savings in public buildings and lay the groundwork for expansion of energy efficiency in the private sector,” said ECMD Director Louise Martinez. “This is a win-win for New Mexicans,” said GSD Cabinet Secretary Ed Burckle, “The mission of GSD is to make state government more efficient. By making these energy-saving upgrades, we will save taxpayer money, while leading by example in the field of energy conservation.” Read More News New Mexico
