Energy Saving Rebates and Programs

HOME ENERGY ASSESSMENTS

In partnership with WMLP, Energy New England (ENE) provides no-cost Home Energy Assessments for WMLP’s residential customers. Our highly trained and experienced Residential Energy Advisors will assess your home’s energy efficiency to identify heating, lighting, weatherization, and rebate opportunities that can save you money on your utility bills. 

ENE’s Energy Advisor conducts an in-person or virtual walk-through of your home, inputting information into our energy-efficiency software to create a report for you that analyzes your home’s energy usage, identifies home improvement projects that can lower your energy costs, and links to WMLP’s rebates and incentives.

LEVEL YOUR LOAD

Leveling your Load means shifting your electricity use to off-peak hours. This simple step:

  • involves no out-of-pocket costs;
  • significantly reduces energy costs; and
  • reduces carbon emissions.

When you reduce your electricity use during peak summer hours, everyone benefits with lower electric rates and a cleaner environment, because the WMLP can reduce its use of low-efficiency electricity generating plants which operate only during peak periods.

Please see the Wellesley Municipal Light Plant website for more information.

WECARE PROGRAM

The Town of Wellesley continues to be a leader in reducing the carbon footprint of our community. Initiatives such as the Wellesley Municipal Light Plant voluntary renewable energy program make it easy and affordable to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, increase energy stability, and preserve the planet. The Wellesley Electric Customers Accelerated Reduction of Emissions (“WECARE”) program helps in these efforts.
