New Energy Saver Tool and website provides
central location for energy-saving programs
The South Carolina Energy Office, housed within the Office of
Regulatory Staff, has launched a new online Energy Saver Tool and
website to help consumers easily find energy-saving programs. The
tool and website were built in partnership with NIC South Carolina,
the state’s digital government services provider.
Finding energy-saving programs can involve visiting multiple
websites and be frustrating for consumers. Now consolidated in one
central, online location, these programs can be accessed through
the Energy Saver Tool on EnergySaver.SC.GOV. The tool offers an
easy way for the public to answer a few simple questions and find
energy-saving programs available to them. Users can also search by
category or by program name to find specific program information.
Programs and results are printable and can be shared by exporting
to a PDF or Excel file.
The Energy Office will keep the inventory of energy-saving
programs up-to-date and can pull comprehensive program reports
through a back-end administrative tool.
“After discussions with stakeholders during our development of
the State Energy Plan, we recognized the need for an organization
to provide this resource and took on the challenge,” said Anthony
James, Director of the Energy Office. “EnergySaver.SC.GOV will make
it easier for consumers to see what’s out there, and we’re happy to
provide the access to this valuable information.”
In addition, the Energy Saver website includes energy-saving
tips for homes and businesses in a user-friendly and easy-to-follow
format.
The Energy Saver Tool and website were built through a
partnership between the Energy Office and NIC South Carolina who
provides SC.gov for the state of South Carolina.
