The Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas sponsor the $50,000 Energy Efficiency Home Makeover Contest to educate electric cooperative members and the general public about how investing in proven energy efficiency building science will reap long-term dividends like lower utility bills, improved home comfort and conservation without sacrificing modern conveniences.
While only one homeowner can win, thousands who followed past makeover projects and are now enjoying the benefits of energy efficiency from applying the makeover components to their homes; one at a time. "With this year's contest, we will reach $250,000 in energy efficiency home improvements for contest winners," White said. "That's in addition to the savings that our members benefit from by following the progress of the makeover and implementing the energy-saving measures in their homes."
The Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas comprise 17 electric distribution cooperatives.
