Progress Energy Neighborhood Energy program begins in Apalachicola in April

Progress Energy is kicking off its Neighborhood Energy program in Apalachicola in April to help low income customers save money on their electric bills.

The neighborhood Energy program is designed to help people save money through up to 16 measures that Progress Energy will provide for free to customers who qualify.

Those energy saving measures can include installing low-flow showerheads and wrapping water heaters to installing weather stripping and cleaning refrigerator coils.

These are all services that Progress Energy will provide at no cost and ones which could save customers up to 150 dollars a year on their electric bills.

Progress Energy says nearly 1200 homes in the city are eligible for the free service.

The neighborhood Energy program will be introduced to residents at a kick-off event on Tuesday, April 9, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Apalachicola Senior Center & Community Facility at 205 Dr. Fredrick S. Humphries St.

After that power company workers will begin setting up times to visit qualified customers to do the work.

The program has already been implemented in Eastpoint and will soon expand to Carrabelle and Port St. Joe.
