City of Brunswick
Keeping our energy clean and affordable, and using it in an efficient manner, is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Geopolitical instability, climate change and runaway energy markets present a bewildering array of problems. Citizens, businesses and government agencies have experienced sharply rising energy costs — and face an uncertain energy future. The City of Brunswick understands that these increasing and unpredictable energy expenditures make it difficult to manage your budgets or plan for household repairs and improvements, and we’re taking steps to help.
The City of Brunswick is working with the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority to obtain an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant. This grant falls under The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, put in place February of 2009. With the passage of the Act, billions of dollars have been allocated to improve the energy efficiency of residential, commercial and governmental facilities and operations.
ARRA was designed with several goals in mind: to create jobs, enhance America’s energy independence, expand educational opportunities, and to protect those in greatest need. These are serious goals, and the City has taken the first step to make those goals a reality for our community.
We have developed a comprehensive program to conserve energy in City facilities and create ongoing benefits for the community. We will achieve dramatic cost savings with new, more efficient mechanical equipment, automated controls, lighting upgrades and more. The energy cost savings generated by implementing these measures will be reinvested in a number of different ways, including an energy awareness program for the community, and an incentive program for energy-efficient improvements in homes. These measures will directly help residents reduce their energy costs.
