REFLECTIONS ON THE

COMMUNITY ENERGY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM

An energy discussion in the Town of High Falls. PARTICIPANT REFLECTION “I was originally turned down for the EmPower program because of some extra income that was not normal. The community energy advisors helped me keep up with my change in income and helped me reapply when I was eligible to finally get the work done.”

-Mirna H.

Program outreach is focused on low- and moderate-income consumers, however, the CEEP Community Energy Advisors (CEA) help all income levels, nonprofits, and small businesses look into energy options.
