The Neighborhood Energy Connection offers secured, low-interest loans for qualified energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements to Minnesota residences. Loans are available for single family homes, duplexes, and quads with household incomes below $91,300, in amounts ranging from $2,000 – $35,000. Loan repayment terms vary from 1 to 20 years according the amount of the loan at a fixed interest rate of 6.00%.
