Save the Date! April 30 is Energy Efficiency Day in Dinkytown

Free on April 30? Come to Dinkytown and support energy efficiency!

Energy Smart is hosting an event in Dinkytown on April 30 to celebrate local businesses that have committed to finding ways to save energy. In honor of Energy Efficiency Day, businesses in Dinkytown will be offering discounts and special promotions to shoppers that day, and prizes and contests will be available. The event is being co-organized with a group of University of Minnesota students.

In recent weeks, Energy Smart has conducted site visits with more than 40 Dinkytown businesses to help them identify energy-saving opportunities at their businesses, everything from no-cost and low-cost opportunities to upgrading lights or other equipment. Each business receives a follow-up report that lays out the top energy-saving opportunities along with implementation steps and expected payback.

On April 30, participating businesses will be recognized for their good deed during the event. Energy Smart staff will be in Dinkytown providing tips and information energy-saving that day and handing out prizes to shoppers.

I'm glad to hear students and local businesses in Minnesota are catching the vision of how energy efficiency can strengthen their overall bottom line and help their customers as well.

Good luck with Energy Efficiency Day in Dinkytown!
