City of Grand Rapids - Green Power Purchasing Policy
This is a municipal green power purchasing policy for the City of Grand Rapids government operations, not a residential incentive program available to homeowners. Residents interested in clean energy can learn about the City's sustainability initiatives and climate action goals by visiting the Office of Sustainability website or contacting them directly.
The City of Grand Rapids' green power purchasing policy guides municipal procurement decisions rather than offering direct contractor incentives or rebates. Contractors seeking to participate in city sustainability projects should contact the Office of Sustainability to learn about procurement opportunities aligned with the City's renewable energy and climate action commitments.
This is a municipal procurement and sustainability framework rather than a traditional ratepayer incentive program. The City of Grand Rapids Office of Sustainability coordinates green power purchasing across city operations as part of broader governance; it supports the 2023 Climate Action & Adaptation Plan targeting community-wide carbon neutrality by 2050. The program covers eligible technologies including solar (photovoltaic and thermal), wind, biomass, hydroelectric, and landfill gas, with contact information available at 616.456.3826 or sustainability@grcity.us for program details.
