Great Light!
Through a new partnership between GW-IPL and DMF Energy Group, your congregation can take three steps towards better stewardship:
• Undertake a professional retrofit of your building’s lighting infrastructure that will
reduce your energy use 15-35% and shrink your carbon footprint;
• Shift a portion of your remaining energy bill to support clean power generation;
• And free up the money saved by both reducing electricity use and paying lower electricity rates to do more of your congregation’s good work.
Is cash tight for your community right now? You may be able to participate in the Great Light program without any initial capital costs beyond your regular energy bills.
