CT Towns Launch “Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge”

Fourteen Connecticut towns have entered the “Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge,” a three-year community energy savings program funded by a $4.17 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy and administered by the Connecticut Clean Energy fund. Participating town residents aim to lower their energy use by 20% through home energy audits, training workshops, and incentive programs with rewards ranging from LED light bulbs and smart thermostats, to electric vehicle recharging stations. The 14 participating towns are Bethany, Cheshire, East Haddam, East Hampton, Glastonbury, Lebanon, Mansfield, Portland, Ridgefield, Weston, Westport, Wethersfield, Wilton, and Windham.
