Save and Benefit


Save & Benefit is a community focused initiative designed to engage community stakeholders and organizations in identifying and implementing energy saving opportunities that provide economic and environmental benefits and at the same time provide for a worthwhile cause.

In all cases, these Save & Benefit Events involve a local, community sponsored organization, were supported by community leaders, and showed the economic, environmental, societal and personal benefits of energy efficiency. The above events show how people who live and work in communities can make a difference. It shows the Power of one home, one school, one business and one community to improve quality of life and to enhance the viability of your community. It begins with you!
