20 organizations, including some from the Greater Danbury area, have been recognized with the 9th annual “Summer Savers” Award. The entities were honored for their commitment to reduce energy consumption and air emissions during the critical summer months.
Connecticut Light and Power Program Administrator Violet Redonsky says the combined efforts of these awardees resulted in energy savings of over 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity, lowering peak electricity demand by nearly 12.7 megawatts and CO2 emissions by over 367 tons.
