🌍 Be Part of Something Electrically Exciting! 🌍
Electrify Asheville-Buncombe is more than just a program; it’s a community-driven initiative to combat climate change. Join us in leading the charge towards a cleaner, brighter future for Asheville and Buncombe County.

As SenJulie Mayfield says: “We have to do all of this equitably. Climate change disproportionately impacts poor and working people. We need an energy agenda that weatherizes homes so people who can least afford it pay less for energy, that enables low and moderate income people to access low cost renewable energy, and that creates green jobs that pay a living wage.”
