National Grid Announces 2018 Energy Efficiency Community Initiative Participants
February 06 2018 - 3:45PM
National Grid today announced that Gloucester, Rockport, Saugus and
Wellesley will participate in its 2018 Community Initiative, and
will benefit from funding and support to implement energy
efficiency outreach in their communities.
National Grid’s Community Initiative provides
incentive grants of up to $40,000 to Massachusetts communities that
meet the initiative’s goals for implementing energy efficiency
outreach in their residential communities and achieving exceptional
energy savings through energy assessments and residential energy
efficiency measures. (These incentives are in addition to
energy efficiency incentives already available to residents.)
Grants are awarded based on the goals achieved by the end of the
year.
"The purpose of the Community Initiative is to
demonstrate—on a local level—how small changes can add up to help
ensure a sustainable future for our families and the communities
where we live and work,” said John Isberg, Vice President of
Customer Solutions at National Grid. “Each measure promoted
by our initiative reduces the amount of energy used in a home. So,
if local residents implement these measures, not only will their
community win the award, but they will win as well – in the form of
cost savings from reducing the amount of energy they use in their
homes."
In addition to assisting communities in identifying
individualized goals, National Grid will provide these communities
with support throughout the duration of the initiative
including:
- Sharing monthly progress reports.
- Conducting monthly calls with municipalities to learn best
practices.
- Developing and printing customized outreach materials
(brochures, signs).
- Sending campaign materials to customers (email, bill
inserts).
- Providing support for local events (materials, staffing where
available).
