Access Energy Contributes to Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Energy Center Funding
Each year, Access Energy Cooperative contributes a portion of its gross revenues to the Iowa Energy Center at Iowa State University and the Global Warming Center at the University of Iowa.
The Iowa Energy Center helps to promote and develop energy efficiency programs and renewable energy research. In addition, the Center is available to answer questions on a variety of energy issues for the citizens of Iowa.
Last year, Access Energy Cooperative paid a total of $14,661. Eighty-five percent of that will go to the Iowa Energy Center and 15 percent will go to the Global Warming Center.
All Iowa electric and gas utilities are required by the state legislature to help fund the two centers.
