Community Energy Efficiency Program
The Community Energy Efficiency Program (CEEP) was created by the Washington State Legislature in 2009 and continues to encourage homeowners and small business across the state to make energy efficiency retrofits and upgrades. The WSU Energy Program executes and manages these community-based programs.
Funding History
The CEEP pilot was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's State Energy Program and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Our community partners were selected by a competitive request for proposals and independent review committee.
As the CEEP pilot wrapped up in March 2012, our partner organizations had already helped thousands of Washington residents and small business owners save significant energy and money.
To leverage this community investment, the Washington State Legislature began providing the WSU Energy Program with additional funding from the capital budget, ensuring that state residents can continue to benefit from CEEP through June 2023.
