Progress Energy to begin Neighborhood Energy program in Eastpoint

Progress Energy is kicking off a new program in Eastpoint this month to help low income customers save money on their electric bills.

The neighborhood Energy program is designed to help people save money through a number of 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.

Morgan Fillpot, who is heading up the program for Progress Energy, told county commissioners on Wednesday that the neighborhood Energy program will be introduced to customers at a kick-off event on January the 22^nd at the Eastpoint Fire Department.

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

Once Eastpoint is complete, Mister Fillpot says the program will be expanded to Carrabelle, Apalachicola and finally Port St. Joe.
