states in developing and implementing clean energy policies and
climate change solutions.

Help NC SAVE$ ENERGY
NC
SAVES ENERGY is an initiative by a growing number of organizations
to create a statewide, independent (non-utility) energy efficiency
program. It will keep savings on energy bills in the hands of
residential customers, while serving those who can least afford
rising energy costs. CCAC and 36 other organizations are
working to get NC SAVE$ ENERGY (House Bill 1050) passed through the
NC General Assembly this year. Learn how you can get
involved, click here
