DERBY - Communities across the state came together Wednesday to celebrate their achievements in
energy efficiency at Oakdale Theater in Wallingford.
The city of Derby was honored as a high-achieving participant in Clean Energy Communities, an Energize Connecticut program sponsored by United Illuminating Co. and the Connecticut Green Bank.
Curt Spalding, EPA Administrator for the New England region, was keynote speaker at the morning event.
Mayor Anita Dugatto was presented with a plaque and statuette on behalf of the city.
According to Energize CT, 541 homes in Derby have participated in residential energy savings programs. Additionally, 72 business and municipal energy-saving projects have been completed in the last couple of years.
Dugatto accepted the honor on behalf of the city. “I am very pleased that we have made an investment in energy-saving initiatives over the last two years," she said.
“We need to continue to use our creative energy to save our taxpayers money through the use of green energy. I congratulate all those who participated in these programs and encourage all citizens to consider energy efficient options for power consumption.”
Dugatto and her administration initiated a solar panel project last year at the Derby Transfer Station that will save the city significant energy costs over the next several years.
That project is expected to begin construction in the next month.
This is a press release from Mayor Anita Dugatto's office.
