Our Partners

The City of Bainbridge Island led the effort to design and develop an energy-efficiency program for Bainbridge Island which includes residential, commercial and municipal buildings. Between 2009 and 2010, the City was awarded nearly $5 million in energy-efficiency grants from the U.S. Department of Energy and Washington State Department of Commerce. To ensure the success of RePower Bainbridge, the City works with other local and national partners.

In July 2010, the City of Bainbridge Island was selected as one of 20 communities in the United States to receive a BetterBuildings award from U.S. Department of Energy and is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The BetterBuildings award allows communities throughout the country to expand the building-improvement industry and pave the way for a clean energy future.

Together, the cities of Bainbridge Island and Bremerton use this grant funding to achieve energy efficiency in Kitsap County.

RePower Bainbridge and RePower Bremerton are implemented in part by CSG, a national pioneer in the energy-efficiency industry. CSG’s Pacific Northwest team handles the day-to-day operations for RePower Bainbridge, including marketing, energy advisor coordination, scheduling, incentive processing and community events and outreach.

PSE offers cash-back incentives which help offset the out-of-pocket costs of qualifying energy-efficiency upgrades.

An alliance of Island residents, local government, PSE and community organizations, Positive Energy works to create a clean energy future for Bainbridge Island and helps provide volunteer outreach and implementation services for RePower Bainbridge.

The Washington State Chapter of the Sierra Club offers volunteer outreach support and enthusiasm to spread the word about the importance of energy efficiency and get homeowners involved in RePower Bainbridge.

Kitsap Credit Union has partnered with the City of Bainbridge Island to create an Energy Efficiency Loan Program, making it easy for Island homeowners and businesses to make cost-saving improvements.

The Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce has partnered with RePower Bainbridge to bring energy savings to home- and business owners while helping create jobs and boost the local economy.
