NCSAVES$Bringing REAL efficiency to North Carolina |
WHAT IS NC SAVE$? |
    NC SAVE$ is an initiative by a growing number of organizations TO create a statewide independent(non-utility) energy efficiency program that can help keep the savings in the hands of residential energy customers, especially those who can least afford rising energy costs (if approved).   NC SAVES$ can also provide energy efficiency and conservation services and education, create green jobs and may serve other consumer sectors like small business and agriculture in the future.
  &bsp NC SAVE$ would be based on the experiences of six oter states' cost-efficient independent energy efficiency programs (View the "Independent Energy Efficiency Programs in Six States-A Model for North Carolina" report at www.CWFNC.org).   We are proposing that NC SAVE$ be administered by a non-profit that would be independent of NC's energy providers.
    The NC Utilities Commission has opened a new "docket" to consider NC SAVE$ and has invited interested parties to submit comments. (To view this docket, visit http://ncuc.commerce.state.nc.us/docksrch.html, and enter "e100 SUB "120" and click on "search".)
