Power2Charlotte.com, showcasing the City of Charlotte's energy
efficiency and conservation block grant projects. The site also serves
as a community resource for other energy partners and future projects.
Power2 Charlotte.com is the centerpiece of the outreach and education
campaign for the City's 17 energy efficiency projects, funded by a
grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. Kim McMillan, City of
Charlotte Director of Corporate Communications stated, "The web site
is designed to create a dynamic environment to distribute interactive
content, and provide a vehicle for dialog between the City, project
experts, interested citizens and the media. We are excited about the
ability of the site to engage the community to become energy efficient
and conserve resources."
Another key element of the campaign is a monthly eNewsletter providing
regular updates on the progress of projects throughout the community.
The website features an easy registration form for those interested in
learning more about what the City is doing and what they, as residents
and business owners can do to make a difference. The first 500
subscribers will receive a Power2 Charlotte.com bracelet, made from
recycled product. To sign up for the newsletter, visit www.power2charlotte.com

The City of Charlotte's "Power2" Campaign offers resources and
services to help Charlotte residents, business owners and local
government save energy, money, and the environment. The program
promotes and encourages increased conservation and the use of clean,
renewable energy. It also provides citizens with information to make
better decisions which will reduce the overall energy consumption in
our community.
Funded by a grant from the US Department of Energy, The Power2
Charlotte campaign is one of 17 City of Charlotte projects to receive
funding through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
Program, part of the American Resource and Recovery Act. To learn more
