The purpose of the Energy Loan Program (also known as SELP) is to promote energy conservation and renewable energy resource development. The program offers low-interest loans for projects that:
- Save energy
- Produce energy from renewable resources such as water, wind, geothermal, solar, biomass, waste materials or waste heat
- Use recycled materials to create products
- Use alternative fuels
The Energy Loan Program can loan to individuals, businesses, schools, cities, counties, special districts, state and federal agencies, public corporations, cooperatives, tribes, and non-profits. Projects must be in Oregon.
The Energy Loan Program made its first loan in 1981. In 1984, the U.S. Department of Energy awarded the Oregon Department of Energy its Special Award for Energy Innovation for creation of the Energy Loan Program.
Limited funds are available for energy evaluations for schools and public buildings. For more information, contact Kathy Estes at (503) 378-4040 in Salem or 1-800-221-8035 statewide.
