Tell us about events in your area!

Have you attended a recent lecture, workshop, or community event focused on energy? Do you know of any such events happening in the next few months? If yes, we’d love to hear about it. Although CNT Energy staff members are not able to attend all relevant events across the state, we’re always looking for opportunities to get out of the office and talk to about energy issues. If you belong to a club, neighborhood association, or another community group that holds events and is looking for speakers to discuss strategies for saving energy and money, please get in touch.

To tell us about events in your community, please add a comment below, e-mail us at info@powersmartpricing.org, or call 1 (877) 655-6028.

To get things started, here are two upcoming events that might interest Power Smart Pricing participants.
