Working Together!

CCE-TC educates about the importance of energy efficiency and alternative energies.

Smart meters have the potential to help people reduce their energy use and support more solar and wind energies connecting to the grid.

CCE is facilitating community engagement to help maximize the potential of the ESC to help further our County and State energy efficiency goals.
