Task Force gives tips on saving energy dollars

ORANGE — The Orange Clean Energy Task Force aims to help people save money on monthly electric bills while promoting clean energy.
- Go to http://www.ctenergyinfo.com/dpuc_energy_efficiency_programs.htm and click on the "UI residential customers" link and then click on "choose an electric supplier" to save 5 to 10 percent.
- Go to http://orangecleanenergy.wikispaces.com/Sign-Up and sign up for the clean energy option. With this option, UI must offset the amount of energy you use with clean energy offset purchases. The savings from the alternative provider will pay for the clean energy option according to the commission.
For every 100 people who sign up for the energy offsets the town will get a free 1KW solar array. Solar arrays generate free energy to help the town save money so it can stretch your tax dollars. Bethany and Woodbridge have already earned 20 free solar arrays. Bethany alone is saving over $3000 a year.
The Orange Clean Energy Task Force was launched in 2005 by the Board of Selectmen to help the town switch to acquiring 20 percent of its energy from clean sources by 2010.
