Energy Efficiency Grant Helps Missoula Hospital Cut Costs – Grants still available for nonprofit organizations

A year-old initiative to help hospitals slash their energy costs is already showing results. The Montana Facility Finance Authority, part of the Montana Department of Commerce, recently awarded a $15,000 Energy Efficiency Program grant to Missoula’s Providence St. Patrick hospital to identify energy efficiency savings and reduce operating costs.

“As a result of the State of Montana’s energy grant and audit, Providence St. Patrick Hospital was able to identify and implement a myriad of small changes that resulted in annual electricity savings of over $100,000 YTD in 2019,” said Tim Chopp, facility manager.
