Stamford officials have signed an agreement with utility provider Eversource and Energize Connecticut that aims to save up to $1 million in energy costs over the next three years.
Stamford, which has an energy conservation program with ConEdison Solutions, will reinvest the savings from that program into additional efficiency projects.
Stamford wants to reduce electricity use by 12 percent and natural gas use by 6 percent in 16 city-owned buildings by late 2018.
“Stamford is the first city in Connecticut to partner with us on such a large-scale efficiency effort,” said Tilak Subrahmanian, vice president of energy efficiency at Eversource. “We commend Mayor Martin and city leaders for demonstrating the city’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, and giving other municipalities a model they can follow.”
The city will also receive incentives from the ratepayer-funded Energize program, which includes both Eversource and Avangrid as well as the Green Bank.
