Westmont, Illinois -- Date Issued: June 11, 2021
The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus (MMC), composed of 275 cities, towns and villages, recently worked on a regional climate project to determine significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and related energy costs. A goal of the MMC is to connect citizens to existing energy programs that would provide a benefit to residents at no cost to the municipalities. By providing information and communications materials on various programs, the Caucus aims to:
- Spread awareness about energy efficiency, emergency assistance programs, and renewable energy
- Increase the region’s energy literacy help residents, especially low-income residents and older adults, who may have a higher energy burden
Following is a list of energy assistance programs, which not only provide resources for assisting customers, but also helps with reducing greenhouse emissions.
