Program Profiles
The Northeast Metro Pollution Prevention Alliance (NEMPPA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1996 by Conoco, Inc., the city of Commerce City, and the Tri-County Health Department. NEMPPA works to promote the adoption of pollution prevention principles and measures among business, industry, government, and the community-at-large, with the goal of reducing the environmental and public heath risks from pollution. NEMPPA offers qualified local businesses in northeast Denver up to $3,000 to implement energy efficiency measures in their facilities, aiming to lower energy costs and reduce environmental impacts. To participate, businesses must be located in the NEMPPA service area (defined by 36th Avenue to the south, Pecos Street to the west, 120th Avenue to the north, and Tower Road to the east), and have fewer than 100 employees. Participating businesses receive a free detailed assessment of their facility's energy use. NEMPPA then uses this information to help the businesses identify specific projects that will improve energy efficiency, and provides a cost-benefit analysis for the project. Businesses are then eligible for up to $3,000 for energy efficiency improvements, to be paid as a reimbursement once the business demonstrates that the improvements have been installed or implemented. NEMPPA will also provide assistance for businesses in need of securing additional capital to complete larger energy efficiency projects. Based upon average energy use and potential for increased efficiency, the following types of businesses are ideal candidates for the program:
