REEP is a residential energy efficiency program, a pilot program aimed at reducing energy consumption in existing Cook County homes. The program is designed to give homeowners the tools required to learn about their home and make sound economic decisions about where and how to spend funds to improve their building.
The pilot program will upgrade up to 10 homes by using home performance energy audits pre and post improvement work. Homeowners pay for the audits and improvements but audit rebates will be available with completion of selected improvements. The program is open to all income levels.
Cook County Local Energy Project (CCLEP) kicks off this pilot program in September with a homeowner workshop Thursday September 27 at 6:00 p.m. at Cook County Higher Education. The workshop will be lead by Dean Talbott who has over 30 years experience in energy efficiency. $5.00 per person and students free.
CCLEP is partnering with Cook County Higher Education, Grand Marais PUC, Arrowhead Electric Coop, Como Fuel and Propane, CC EDA Housing Authority, DEEP (Duluth Energy Efficiency Program) and the list continues to grow. Consider donating to CCLEP for energy programs.
