Trade allies are an essential
part of Energy Trust of Oregon. More
than 600 experienced contractors, distributors
and other professionals are affiliated with
one or more Energy Trust programs. Each
program identifies a specialized pool of
independent contractors that provide energy
efficiency and renewable energy equipment
and services to homeowners and businesses.
Our Trade Allies bring in up to 80% of the
projects for which we provide incentives.
They are often the first, last and only
representatives of Energy Trust programs
to their customers. We have Trade
Ally networks serving several markets:
Existing Buildings - contractors,
installers, and distributors for energy
efficiency products and services in existing
commercial buildings
New Buildings-

and services in existing homes and apartments

Small Wind - contractors and installers of small wind turbines for rural home owners, ranchers, farmers, municipalities and other property owners in windy areas.
Energy Trust provides technical assistance and financial incentives but does not develop, sell or install energy systems or equipment. This work is done by independent businesses that are solely responsible for the quality and performance of their installations.
