Sept. 14, 2008 – The V.I. Energy Office is calling for vendors for the upcoming 2008 – 2009 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Rebate Program and the Energy Star Appliance Rebate Program. Both programs are designed to educate the public and offer financial assistance as an incentive to purchase energy efficient and renewable energy products, according to a press release from the VIEO.
