Kitsap County is working to reduce energy use and save taxpayer dollars as part of a cohesive effort to
reduce the county government's energy consumption, improve energy efficiency and raise awareness about energy conservation.
The Board of County Commissioners adopted an Energy Efficiency & Conservation
Plan (Energy Plan) in October 2011 to meet the following goals for county facilities:
|
- Reduce energy use 30% by 2020 compared to 2009
- Generate 10% of energy from renewable sources by 2020 compared to 2009

ENERGY EFFICIENCY & CONSERVATION BLOCK GRANT
Kitsap County received $2.229 million in Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG)
funds from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2009 to reduce energy demand, save taxpayer dollars
used for County operations, lower home utility bills, promote a green economy and reduce greenhouse
gas emissions. EECBG funds are being used to fund energy upgrades in county buildings, develop a residential
weatherization and energy efficiency loan program, reduce energy use and emissions in the Kitsap food chain,
and develop a comprehensive energy plan.
