Energy Day Kicks Off Public Power Week at the Middleborough Town Hall

Saturday, October 4, the lawn of Middleborough’s Town Hall will be the scene of an energy savings and renewable energy expo featuring hands-on demonstrations from local solar energy installers, thermal imaging (infra-red heat-loss pictures) taken by Energy New England, and lots of energy saving advice from Middleborough Gas & Electric Department.

Energy Day has a little something for everyone: electric and natural gas cars for adults to check out; bucket truck demonstrations and solar model cars rally for the kids. The department and Green Energy Committee will be taping interviews with solar customers answering questions about their solar experience and scouting for Kid Conservation Crusaders to help create a public service announcement and spread the word about saving energy.

Energy Day activities will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m, rain or shine. All area residents are invited to attend and learn how to make homes more energy efficient and save money on electric bills. The event is sponsored by the Middleborough Green Energy Committee and the Middleborough Gas & Electric Department, celebrating Public Power Week.
