The concept of conservation and energy efficiency has been promoted by Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative since its inception, and over the last few years we have made a more focused effort to promote energy efficiency and develop programs that will help our members save money by using energy wisely. 

In an effort to expand our energy efficiency program we have designed an energy efficiency booth.  To support our local communities and help educate people on how to save money, we set up our booth at numerous events.  We have participated in fairs, meetings, business-after-hours and trade shows throughout our territory.  We hand out materials focused on no cost / low cost energy efficiency tips that will help lower consumers' electric bills.  Educating people on products they can purchase at local hardware stores like Lowe’s, Home Depot or Wal-Mart to weatherize their homes and to help save energy is an additional benefit that we promote.  The energy efficiency booth, printed literature, website and energy audits are just a few examples of how Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative is working with our members to reduce their energy usage. 

For more information about how MEC can assist you or your organization by participating in a local event, please call your local district office.
