PowerTime 2010: Pilot project with Dane County TimeBank, MGE, Allied Wellness Center and

Energy ServicesResults: 20+ homes reduced energy use by 10% per home4 neighborhood residents learned to be energy conservation

consultants  

In exchange for one TimeBank Hour, PowerTime providers show TimeBank members simple ways to save energy in their home or apartment. and highlight the significant impact these measures may have on their utility bill.  The information provided through PowerTime is made available by Madison Gas and Electric Company (MGE).  To participate in this project each PowerTime provider completed a MGE instructed energy-saving workshop.  MGE will work with each PowerTime provider for the duration of this project to ensure the information being provided is accurate and achievable.
