Celebrating Energy Efficiency Day & National Energy Awareness Month October 6th is Energy Efficiency Day and kicks off National Energy Awareness Month.

Since 1991, October has been celebrated as National Energy Awareness Month to raise awareness of the importance of sustainably managing our nation’s energy resources.

The Office of Central Services’ Sustainable Energy Division works to help Prince Georgians like you reduce your energy Costs, Consumption, and Carbon footprint. You can help the planet—and your budget—by taking advantage of our Clean Energy programs and energy-saving tips below.

1.Lower the temperature of your water heater to the warm setting (120°F). 2.Add an insulating blanket to your water heater. An insulating blanket will pay for itself in one year or less in energy savings.

You can save money and conserve energy this winter by turning down the temperature of your water heater to the warm setting (120°F) and adding an insulating blanket. Learn more tips to save at bit.ly/3CIHy5Y. #nationalenergyawarenessmonth
