Energy Savings Program

SPC’s Energy Savings Program seeks to enable local municipalities to more efficiently allocate their utility budget resources through an initial utility bill analysis.  There are many organizations that might be paying too much for these utilities, consuming valuable resources that could be better used to provide goods and services to customers and constituents.  Through several state programs, SPC is able to help these organizations perform energy audits and analyze potential savings.  We also can help these organizations implement cost saving measures by bringing them together with funding streams dedicated to this effort.  SPC seeks to partner with any organization looking to be more competitive in the post de-regulation era.

FREE Energy Workshops

The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) is hosting FREE Energy Workshops for local governments, hospitals, schools, and public officials in our region who wish to have a better understanding of energy savings and prepare for the future by developing long-term energy management strategies. A representative from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will be available at this workshop to discuss DEP’s programs targeted toward municipalities.

Thursday-May 29, 2008 Energy 101

This workshop introduces participants to the basics of energy -- how it is measured, regulated and priced, and how you can engage exciting new opportunities such as green architecture and renewable energy supplies as part of energy management planning. The emphasis will be on identifying practical activities to more efficiently control energy usage.

Tuesday-June 10, 2008 Strategic Energy Planning

This workshop will introduce attendees to the elements of a sound strategic energy plan and the steps to assure that it is implemented. It will provide individuals with the tools to assess their effectiveness of integrating energy concerns into the organization and managing energy data, commodity procurement, conservation of energy through equipment choices such as Light Emitting Diode (LED) traffic signals, and end-use consumption. A detailed presentation and hands-on demonstration will be provided on LED traffic signals.
