In recognition of the 5th annual national Energy Efficiency Day on Wednesday, October 7, 2020, Utility Advantage is joining regional and national organizations, businesses, utilities, universities, and individuals in promoting energy efficiency – the cheapest, quickest way to meet our energy needs, cut utility bills, and reduce pollution. 

Energy efficiency is also an economic engine, amassing a U.S. workforce of nearly 2.4 million by the beginning of this year. Ranging from professional services to manufacturing, installation, and construction, these good jobs are local and cannot be outsourced. 
 
“Energy Efficiency reduces waste, provides permanent annual utility cost savings, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It’s one of the easiest ways for business and government entities to address climate change in a cost-effective manner.  For over fifteen years, our company has focused on providing energy efficiency audits and upgrades to our clients as part of our energy solutions”, said Laurie Wiegand-Jackson, President of Utility Advantage.
 
Smarter energy use means we don’t have to generate as much power to meet our needs. Utility Advantage has invested in providing training and onsite assessments of facilities in New Jersey and our team has developed hundreds of flexible energy resources through demand response and energy efficiency across the USA.
 
Reducing the energy used by manufacturers, homes, and businesses benefits everyone – especially energy bill-payers. The average household saves almost $500 yearly thanks to efficiency standards that apply to new appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators and water heaters, alone.
 
“The need to address climate change is one of our most pressing global challenges.  Trillions of dollars will be invested in the clean energy transition, including energy efficiency, and we are leading the way in ensuring that all communities benefit and the energy industry provides job opportunities for the under-represented, especially people of color and women”, said Laurie Wiegand-Jackson.
