Energy Program Development
The Governor's Energy Challenge supports the reduction of energy usage by state and local government agencies by 15% by 2020, as compared to 2007 energy use levels, and encourages businesses within the state to match these commitments. The Challenge also supports economic development through the commercialization of bioenergy based on state-grown feedstocks. These efforts are facilitated by the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority, the Bioenergy Corridor, and the Georgia E85 Retail Infrastructure Grant Program.
