Gap III Grant Award
In January of 2023, Maynard was awarded a Gap III grant for $89,075, which excluded the added 10% cost sharing the Town of Maynard was required to fulfil on the proposed project. After winning the grant, the Town upgraded the scope of the work to include a new High Efficiency Condensing Propane Boiler, a new Propane Tank, and the removal and disposal of the old underground oil storage tank. This would lower emissions significantly as well as being significantly less expensive to run. The total projected cost of the project was $154,078. The Town’s total contribution was $65,078 .
What is the Gap III Grant?
“In a continuing effort to support a more sustainable Commonwealth, the BakerPolito Administration today announced $8.1 million in grants through the Gap Energy Grant Program to help water facilities, nonprofits and small businesses reduce energy use, increase energy efficiency, and generate renewable energy. The Gap Energy Grants are administered by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), which operates the initiative under its Clean Energy Results Program. By filling the “gap” in project financing, these grants are made possible through the Climate Protection and Mitigation Expendable Trust and enable its recipients to use utility incentives and funds from other sources to build or install energy efficiency and clean energy projects. This year, the 62 recipients receiving the grants represent three sectors in the state: municipal water facilities; non-profit multi-family affordable housing organizations; and agricultural and food-producing non-profits and small businesses.” (MassDEP News, https://www.mass.gov/doc/81-million-in-gap-energy-grants awarded-to-62-organizations-and-municipal-facilities/download)
The new boiler is currently operating efficiently and keeping the Wastewater facility administration building and its staff warm. We want to thank the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Veolia Water, Inovis Energy, Anctil Plumbing and Heating, Dileo Gas, Western Oil Environmental Services and all parties involved in assisting with this grant project. This project has been highly success for the Town of Maynard.
We are proud to report that after installation during the 2023/24 winter, our Facility has saved 10,000 Kw of energy and a monetary savings of approximately $1600 per year. During the months of November through March the Facility showed significant gains in saving electricity from previous years, thus resulting in a much smaller carbon footprint. We look forward to continuing to upgrade and focus on sustainable improvements within our facility.
Please let me know when this is completed, and I will send it out on Facebook and we can report this on our final report.
Thanks,
Justin
