Wilton Go Green is here to help our businesses take the next steps towards a more sustainable community.

SMALL BUSINESS ENERGY ADVANTAGE

The Small Business Energy Advantage (SBEA) program allows qualified organizations (defined as using less than 1,000,000 kWh/year) to participate in a no-cost energy assessment provided by an Eversource-approved contractor.  The contractor will make recommendations for energy-saving improvements and manage the installation of any recommendations chosen for implementation. The choice to implement is entirely up to the business and the cost of the improvements is paid for via rebates, subsidies, incentives and zero-interest on-bill payment plans, allowing the business or building owner to move forward with no out-of-pocket expense. 

To schedule a 30-60 minute, no-cost audit for your business, non-profit organization or commercial property, please contact us at sbea@wiltongogreen.org.

“This summer with the Wilton Go Green SBEA program, my State Farm office received an energy audit, signed a contract for updated lighting and implemented the change in just a few weeks. It was a quick, easy and a straightforward process.  Consequently, our lighting energy use has reduced by 76%, the program will pay for itself and we are benefitting from a more pleasant atmosphere – saving money in the long run."   Karen O’Brien, State Farm Insurance

Commercial Compost Programs 

In Connecticut, 23% of all garbage sent to the incinerator is food waste. Diverting our food waste is a simple, yet impactful step in reducing greenhouse gasses polluting our air and instead puts our food back to the soil as compost where it belongs. Both https://www.blueearthcompost.com and http://www.curbcompost.org provide commercial compost services in Wilton. Contact either company today to learn how your business can feed the Earth, not the Landfill.
