  1. Natural Gas – the cleaner, greener fuel! • Natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel with 45 percent fewer carbon dioxide emissions than coal. • Natural gas is extremely efficient — 90 percent of natural gas is delivered to appliances as useable energy compared to only 30 percent of electricity. • The average natural gas home emits 46 percent less carbon dioxide or CO2 than an average all-electric home. • Natural Gas is a plentiful domestic source of energy. Newly discovered reserves of natural gas make it a natural bridge to future renewables in addition to all of the other efficiency and environmental benefits.

  2. Energy Conservation Programs • Programs include: • Free programmable thermostats or rebate for purchase of programmable thermostat of customer’s choice • High efficiency home heating and water heater rebates • Seasonal heating check-up rebates • Low-income weatherization program • ENERGY STAR residential new construction program • Air filter coupons • Dealer checkout program • Community outreach and customer education program energy SMART – Save Money and Resources Today

  3. Programmable Thermostats • Bulk Purchases with Branding • Mail Distribution through Rebate Vendor • VNG Support to Ensure Results • Installation by Dealers and Contractors through Dealer Checkout program • Installation with Low-Income Weatherization by Certified Weatherization Agencies • www.White-Rogers.com installation and programming information

  8. Low Income Weatherization • Program Administration will be handled by Southeastern Tidewater Opportunity Project (STOP) and the Williamsburg/James City County Community Action Network • They will administer consistent with current practices, but supplement federal funds to enhance improvements/increased efficiency of natural gas systems and provide services to additional customers at 75% of median income • We will provide a portion of funds allocated to each agency consistent with projected need based on demographics and provide additional funds based on response

  9. ENERGY STAR Residential New Construction Program • ENERGY STAR Residential New Construction Program: • Number of Participants: 20 • Eligible Incentives: $250 for ENERGY STAR Certification • Builders are eligible for a $250 rebate for receiving the ENERGY STAR Certificate for a home. The rebate is designed to be applied against the cost of the ENERGY STAR inspections, testing, and modeling; a pilot program to encourage the installation of highly energy efficient ENERGY STAR rated equipment in residential new construction rather than the standard less-costly and less-efficient equipment • Builders participating in this pilot program are also eligible for the energySMART rebates on natural gas water heaters and a natural gas furnace
