Seattle City Light will be launching a home energy report project on Wednesday, October 7, providing bi-monthly home energy reports to 20,000 randomly selected homeowners as part of a pilot program to help Seattle homeowners reduce their energy consumption.

The reports will track the home’s energy consumption, and then compare it to surrounding homes, finding the most efficient homes in the neighborhood. Additionally, the report will give suggestions on how each homeowner can reduce his or her energy consumption, including City Light rebates and programs.

Customers randomly selected for the pilot program will receive reports every two months for a year. The first reports should arrive a few days after the customers receive their electricity bills. If you would like to opt out of this program, just call 1-866-352-2246.

In other news, City Light will be holding a meeting on Tuesday, October 13, from 6:30-8 p.m. to discuss last weekend’s planned power outage, and subsequent unplanned blackout. Click here for details.
