Saving
energy and cutting costs through consumer education
and smart services
For the past decade, CMC
has administered one of the most successful energy efficiency
programs in the country for low-income customers. The
success of this program proves that education, coupled
with a modest investment in weatherization, can lower
energy bills by 20% year after year. CMCs
public benefits programs not only make energy more affordable,
they also make homes more comfortable and attractive.
Services
we offer to help low-income homeowners and tenants get
the most
value from limited public funds include:
Showing
customers how to control their energy use.
Reducing
energy use through home improvements.
Replacing
inefficient appliances, often with co-funding from owners
or landlords.
Assigning
special customer managers dedicated to providing continuous
assistance
and ensuring continuous savings.
CMC
also provides programs that:
Enable
energy providers to reduce peak use by offering rate
incentives.
Provide
affordable flat-fee payment plans based on income and
subsidies to supplement payments beyond this limit.
Provide
customers with a safety net to cover bills if they encounter
short-term financial problems.
