Good Morning!
High utility bills can be stressful, and it can be costly to make energy efficiency upgrades at home. We’ve just launched SaskPower’s Energy Assistance Pilot Program to help income-qualified households to improve their home’s energy efficiency. And we’re hoping you can help us reach qualifying households that would benefit from this program.
Here’s how it works:
Program participants will get a free smart thermostat and other energy-saving products. Our Home Energy Advisors will provide a free home walk-through assessment and one-on-one coaching on how to reduce energy consumption. The expected savings is up to $230 per year!
We’re looking for 400 households to take part. Once we reach the cap, we won’t accept any new applications. We’ll be sure to advise you once the program fills up so that information can be shared. To be eligible, participants must:
• Live in Regina or Saskatoon (Saskatoon Light & Power customers are eligible)
• Own their own home
• Fall within the income criteria
Full program details and the application form are available at https://www.saskpower.com/energyassistance
Here’s where you come in!
We’re doing our best to reach eligible participants in a targeted way. Because you have relationships in your community, we’d sincerely appreciate it if you’d help us spread the word.
We’ve created materials, including:
• A social media tool kit, with information on how to post to social media and a few key points that can be shared
• Posters and brochures, which can be delivered to your office
• And newsletter copy, in case you’d like to include information in an upcoming publication
Can you please confirm how you’re sharing the information, and how many people you expect to reach? (Word of mouth, poster, e-newsletter, Facebook)?
Would you like posters or pamphlet’s for your locations?
And please let us know if there’s anything else you need, or if you have any questions!
Kind regards,
Megan
