Energy Efficiency Pilot Program – People Power: David Moss
Most of us are would like to reduce our energy consumption – if only because it costs so much – but we know surprisingly little about how to do it. Much of our current consumption may be going to waste without our knowledge, and we could benefit from a little education in efficient energy management. That’s the mission of People Power, which was awarded $1 million in 2013 as part of the Hawaiian Energy Accelerator’s growth stage program. The company is looking for local energy consumers to sign-up for a year-long pilot program, and David Moss, People Power CTO and Co-Founder was in the studio this morning to tell us more.
