ANSONIA >> Efforts by both the city and residents to become more ‘green’ and reduce their energy footprint are paying off in a big way.
To that end, officials from United Illuminating presented Mayor David Cassetti this week with a $10,000 Bright Idea grant.
The city signed a pledge last year with U.I. to participate in energy savings projects through the company’s Energize Connecticut’s Home Energy Solutions program.
Cassetti kicked off the initiative by having an energy audit conducted in his
own home. Last March, New England Smart Energy visited Cassetti’s Hilltop home,
built in 1985, and conducted various tests to check for energy deficiencies.
Cassetti made some simple changes, like switching the traditional light bulbs in
his home to energy-efficient LED bulbs to help cut his personal electric
bill.
