Clean Energy Counselors (CECs) are community volunteers who help their peers navigate clean energy solutions. As trusted guides, they assist residents in understanding energy efficiency upgrades, available rebates, and clean energy options like solar and heat pumps. CECs play a key role in empowering their neighbors to make informed, cost-saving energy choices.
Energy for Generations (EFG) is a City of Newburyport initiative funded by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and implemented by MassEnergize. The program helps older adults make their homes more energy efficient, comfortable, and climate-resilient through education, outreach, and clean energy support.
