2010 IHWAP Funding

OMG Moment

• Illinois Weatherization funding is about $48 million.• We could get between $300 - 500 million from DOE to

spend over a two-year period.• That could give us about $200 - 300 million a year!

• 400 - 600% Increase!!!• We could go from 8,00 homes per year

to 40,000 to 80,000 homes/year.• IHWAP could be as large as LIHEAP in

funding!!!

And Now…Let Us Take a

Moment to Reflect…
