In our continued competition for the
Georgetown UniversIty Energy Prize, the
Cambridge Energy Alliance recently launched a Steering Committee to aid us in our
In It to Win it Campaign. The Steering Committee is a team of Community leaders that advises us on our energy efficiency engagement strategy, influencing the direction of our current projects and new initiatives. The committee will also work hand in hand with stakeholders throughout the community and help with public outreach. Leading up to the end of the competition, the committee will also be working with us to develop a plan for using the $5 million dollar prize to best help the city of Cambridge. The committee will meet monthly in working groups on key initiatives such as schools, multi-family housing, block captains, and communications throughout 2016. We are fortunate enough to be supported by representatives from the energy efficiency sector, affordable housing agencies, local universities, tech and environmental sector businesses, environmental advocacy groups and think tanks, Cambridge Public Schools, the Cambridge Department of Public Works, the Cambridge Community Engagement Team, and engaged citizens.
In addition to the direction of the Steering Committee, we still need your help to win the Energy Prize! Do your part for the city by signing up for a
free home energy assessment, where you can learn ways to reduce your energy output and save money on your electricity bills. Look at the
Cambridge Energy Alliance website for information on the Energy Prize, and read our blog,
Warm Home Cool Planet, for updates. As always,
