NC SAVE$ Energy

One of our ongoing goals at NCHC is to promote energy efficiency measures that reduce utility costs, preserve and improve NC's affordable housing stock, and reduce carbon emissions. That's why we are a member of the NC SAVE$ Energy Coalition. NC SAVE$ Energy (HB 1050) is a proposal by consumer, social justice, housing, and environmental groups to create an independent (non-utility) energy efficiency program for North Carolina. As introduced in the North Carolina House, this bill will enable residents all over the state to participate the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency. Programs could include weatherizing homes, appliance upgrades, and efficiency technology such as timers for lights and a/c and other cost-effective activities.
