The Green Energy Committee (GEC) is sponsoring the Lincoln Energy Challenge to help residents reduce their home energy consumption, increase rooftop solar and community solar farms, and sign up for renewable sources of electricity, particularly solar and wind.
The first stop on the way to saving money and energy is a no-cost home energy assessment tailored specifically to your home and done by auditors and insulation staff with new Lincoln Energy Challenge partner Co-op Power. The firm specializes in implementing the recommended energy savings upgrades including air sealing, insulation, and furnace, boiler and appliance upgrades with the help of state-incentivized rebates. An energy assessment can be performed if more than two years have passed since your last one.
Please visit the GEC at the “40 Years of Community” fair on April 30 (rain date: May 1) in Pierce Park to learn about what you can do and to sign up for a no-cost home energy assessment. Or you can schedule an assessment by calling Co-Op Power at 877-266-7543 or visiting www.LincolnEnergyChallenge.org. Anyone with questions may email GEC member Sue Klem at susan.m.klem@gmail.com.
