Partnership will help homeowners, landlords, renters, small businesses, non-profits, and houses of worship to save money and energy

West Springfield, April 29, 2022 – The City of West Springfield and ener-G-save are pleased to announce that we have been selected to participate in the 2022-2024 Community First Partnership offered by the Sponsors of Mass Save. West Springfield is one of 30 communities selected to participate in this new initiative.

West Springfield and ener-G-save, a local nonprofit that has been doing energy efficiency work for over 5 years in Pioneer Valley, will work with local Mass Save Sponsor, Eversource, to provide cost saving energy efficiency solutions to residents, small businesses, houses of worship and local nonprofits. There will be a particular emphasis on reaching renters and landlords, non-English speaking/Limited English Proficiency residents, low-to-moderate income households and small businesses. Together we can further our community’s commitment to equity and sustainability.

Participants will receive a no-cost energy assessment to identify energy-saving opportunities, such as insulation and heating and cooling equipment upgrades. Through this exciting partnership, the Mass Save Sponsors offer up to 100% off the cost of approved upgrades. Participants can also receive a variety of no-cost energy saving products such as water saving devices and programmable thermostats.

The goals for this year in West Springfield include 105 insulation upgrades and 25 high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment upgrades.

"In my new position as Energy Advocate for West Springfield, I’m looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible in every neighborhood, and helping you take advantage of Mass Save’s energy efficiency programs! Together, we can be a part of the solution!"

Raven Geiger, Energy Advocate for West Springfield

As a Community Partnership Team, West Springfield, Springfield, and Pittsfield, and ener-G-save are eligible for up to $60,000 in funding each year for three years to support these projects, as well as marketing and technical support from the Mass Save Sponsors.
