The Duke Energy Neighborhood Energy Saver Program uses a community approach to swiftly reduce energy bills for a large number of participants. By targeting low-income neighborhoods, working with local leaders to build neighborhood engagement and buy-in, and conducting energy assessments, energy-saving improvements, and participant education at no cost, the program is able to upgrade hundreds of homes in a cost- and time-efficient manner while reducing carbon pollution.

Duke Energy, an electric and natural gas utility serving customers in the Southeast and Midwest, uses census and other data to identify low-income neighborhoods of approximately 1,000 homes. Program representatives then work with local leaders in interested neighborhoods.
