Community Partnership Initiative Overview Our Community Partnership Initiative (Partnership) seeks to leverage the local knowledge, trusted relationships, and experience of local community groups, nonprofit organizations, and environmental justice municipalities* who are committed to raise awareness and measurable participation in Home Energy Solutions SM – Income Eligible , income eligible customer heat pump adoption, Small Business Energy Advantage and the Multifamily Initiative in their own communities.
Together, the Connecticut electric and natural gas utilities (Eversource, United Illuminating, Southern Connecticut Gas and Connecticut Natural Gas, subsidiaries of AVANGRID, Inc), as Sponsors of Energize Connecticut, are committed to work with community outreach groups affiliated with a municipality, such as Energy Task Forces, and community outreach groups unaffiliated with a municipality.
Our goal in working together is to familiarize residents and businesses with the Sponsors’ energy efficiency programs and offers to increase energy efficiency engagement and program participation across the state.
Through the Partnership, we seek to emphasize outreach to the following select groups: customers within a distressed municipality or Environmental Justice Census Block Groups, residents with limited English proficiency, customers who qualify for Home Energy Solutions - Income Eligible, renters in single family homes or multifamily buildings up to four units, property owners of multifamily properties with five or more units, and small businesses.
The Partnership does not replace current and future residential and small business marketing in Connecticut by the Sponsors, rather it aims to provide another layer of marketing and outreach to customers in the select groups mentioned above. The Round 3 application period is currently closed. Please check back for Round 3 updates and Round 4 announcements.
