Roanoke Electric Receives $6 Million Loan for Energy Efficiency

In October, the North Carolina-based Roanoke Electric Cooperative became one of the first recipients of a loan through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Loan Program. The cooperative will use the $6 million loan to launch “Upgrade to Save,” a voluntary on-bill financing program allowing its members to make investments in energy efficiency upgrades and reduce their energy costs.
