the City of Mounds View. He explained the loan program has been separated from the home energy
squad and the EDA was being asked to approve an agreement with the Center for Energy and
Environment for the home energy squad visits.

with a presentation on the work conducted by the home energy squad which was a program
provided by Xcel Energy and Center Point Energy since 2010. He explained this program was
under the ECO act that helps utilities meet their annual efficiency savings goals. He reviewed the
types of visits that were available for homeowners and renters and described the services that were
provided. He reported the home energy squad has had a partnership with Mounds View since 2018
and has conducted 95 home visits. He commented further on the improvement loans that were
available to residents and commercial properties to assist with energy improvements.
