Efficiency upgrades and solar PV may close the energy affordability gap, but for many low-income households these options are not accessible. As a state we need to do a better job of deploying clean energy solutions to those that have the most need. To raise awareness and collect firsthand accounts, the NAG - Nonprofit Accountability Group is spending March conducting recorded interviews that will be used in an Energy Narrative Series to call for change. Watch for these videos in the coming months.

If you would like to participate in the interviews, register for the March 22nd event on our calendar. >> https://buildgreenct.org/calendar/
