Our Work with Clean Energy Funds: Clean Energy Communities Campaign

Our Clean Energy Communities Campaign is one of SmartPower’s signature marketing strategies that best works in partnership with a clean energy fund.  Our goal is to assist communities in the purchase and support of clean energy.  When municipalities make a commitment to 20% clean energy, and when residents sign up for clean energy choice programs, the township receives an incentive such as a free 1kw solar energy system, energy audit or other items that visibly demonstrate a communities’ commitment to clean energy and/or energy efficiency.

This program began in collaboration with the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, where its success in signing up almost half the cities and towns in Connecticut led to its expansion into Pennsylvania, and our partnership with the Pennsylvania Sustainable Development Fund and in North Carolina with yet another collaboration of stakeholder groups.
