Lighting the Way to Lowering Energy Demand
Across a wide range of industries and institutions, Connecticut businesses and non-profits are reducing electrical consumption by 5 megawatts (the equivalent of more than 1,000 homes). Ameresco and electric utility The United Illuminating Company (UI) invite you to join in.
Under this program, Ameresco is offering up to $600 per kW saved to customers whose facilities are located anywhere in Connecticut. The program is open to both customers building new facilities and customers retrofitting their existing facilities.
