Key program goals include reducing emissions, lowering long-term energy and transportation costs, increasing energy bill savings for constituents, and building awareness about the benefits of all-electric technology. Transitioning to all-electric technologies is expected to improve air quality, increase resilience during power outages, and foster healthier environments for community members. The resulting contract will have a term of two years.
