Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities plans to issue an RFP for its member communities

Funded by grant awards from the US Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program, communities throughout the state of Iowa are beginning the conversion of existing streetlights to the energy efficient solid state technology of LEDs. Iowa communities received grants of $1.8 million which were to be used to implement energy efficient streetlighting. These federal grants are locally administered by Iowa Office of Energy Independence.  The majority of grant recipients are communities which are also municipal utilities. These municipal utilities are represented by the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities (IAMU).
