Weatherize Concord program stalled by delay in NH Saves update

A delay by regulators updating a state efficiency program has left 32 Concord buildings in limbo as they wait for help to cut their energy use.
“It was a bit of a surprise because both Liberty Utilities and Unitil had consistently communicated to the energy committee and city administration … that the most recent iteration delay would not affect the project in 2021,” said Councilor Rob Werner, who chairs the Energy and Environment Advisory Committee.
The Committee oversees Weatherize Concord, a program that hoped to provide assistance to 80 buildings this year via a long-standing program called NH Saves.

A push to make buildings (and streetlights) more efficient in Concord
Published: 3/14/2021 3:49:30 PM
Acknowledging that the cheapest energy is the energy that you don’t need to buy, Concord is pursuing improved efficiency in buildings and light poles.
Wednesday will see a COVID-delayed kickoff for Weatherize Concord, an effort to get more city businesses and residences, especially lower-income locations, to take advantage of money in the NH Saves program.
“On an average basis there have been about 40 properties a year in Concord using it. We’re going to try to double that,” said City Councilor Rob Werner, who chairs the Energy and Environment Advisory Committee. “We wanted to do this early last year before COVID took over.”
