Title
Quarterly Conservation Program Update
Body
The Induction Cook Top Loaner Program is going very well. To date, 45 out of 100 people have borrowed the kits with overwhelmingly positive support and feedback.
Induction events:
* October 4 - Presentation on cooking technology history and Induction Loaner program to Rotary Club
* October 5 - Customer Service Day demonstrations in Muni Building October 5.
* October 6 - Induction Stove panel demonstration with PEEC. There was a lot of good discussion with the dozen people who attend the event.
October was Public Power Week and National Energy Month.
The County proclaimed October 5 as Energy Efficiency Day. Updated DPU "Conserve and Reduce" webpage with ways to "Reduce Energy Costs".
PEEC presented the Monster Detective Collective to several classrooms throughout October and November. The Monster Detective Collective is an engaging energy education program created by Milepost Consulting and the Tennessee Valley Authority. We purchased the Public Power version created with the American Public Power Association for Public Power Week and Energy Awareness Month. The program walks kids through what is energy, what uses power, where power comes from, and what happens when the power goes out. Elizabeth, our PEEC educator touched on the actual sources our power comes from and had the kids do a hands-on activity to see how wind and solar work.
