Eagle County has suspended the solar rebate program due to decreasing revenues in the Eco-Build Fund, the dedicated source from which rebates were paid.
For renewable energy or energy efficiency proposals, the county offers an ECO-Build Community Grant program. The program is dependent upon the availability of funds received from ECO-Build fees. While it is anticipated that funds will be available in the future, we are not accepting ECO-Build Grant applications at this time.
The ECO-Build Committee is an advisory board which makes policy and funding recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. The current ECO-Build Committee members are:
- Seth Bossung
- Megan Gilman
- Erik Lundquist
- Mike Villela
- Bruce Norring
- Matt Scherr
- Yuri Kostick
- David Riddle
- Kyle Hoiland
