Purpose & Background:
The Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) is seeking qualified contractors to submit proposals for the design, procurement, and installation of new residential and commercial geothermal systems at bulk prices lower than the prevailing single system market rate for new and existing building geothermal heat pump systems for the Geothermal Urbana-Champaign program.
This group buy is offered by the MREA, and with the promotional support from the City of Urbana, Champaign County Sustainability Network (CCNet), GeoExchange, Illinois Geothermal Coalition, and additional community partners.
The program will coordinate and deliver seven to ten free, public Geo Power Hour information sessions and market them widely with email blasts, paid social media promotion, promotional partnerships, press releases and more. Presentations will be a combination of webinars and in-person events.
