Community Energy Management
Overview
-
Energy management is the process of tracking the energy you use, finding opportunities to reduce the amount of energy needed, taking action on those opportunities, pursuing renewable energy sources and continuously monitoring your energy. Through active energy management, you can take control of your electric bill.
Energy Services offers case studies, templates, guides, as well as a series of webinars to help provide local governments with practical advice on issues related to clean energy and energy management.
