News: Efficiency Maine Participation On the Rise: Lowering Electricity Costs and Usage Improves the Bottom Line
Recent rate increases for electricity have many businesses and organizations wondering what to do about rising costs. Global warming has become an issue of high concern, and the pressure to ‘go green’ and protect the environment is growing stronger every day.
The Efficiency Maine Business Program, a program of the Maine Public Utilities Commission, offers free advice to Maine businesses and organizations of all sizes seeking to reduce electricity usage and costs. Cash incentives up to $100,000 are available to help purchase high-efficiency lighting and other electric equipment.
Since April 2003, more than 700 business and organizations have participated in the program, and reduced their electricity usage by an estimated 42,478,114 kilowatt-hours! This lower usage translates to a combined savings of over $6,371,000 in electricity costs for program participants.
“Our primary goal is to help businesses and other organizations use electricity more efficiently,” notes David Kyle, the New Program Manager of the Efficiency Maine Business Program. “Lowering usage can save energy, lower costs, and help to improve the bottom line of any organization.“
