consultants
In exchange for one TimeBank Hour, PowerTime providers show TimeBank members simple ways to save energy in their home or apartment. and highlight the significant impact these measures may have on their utility bill. The information provided through PowerTime is made available by Madison Gas and Electric Company (MGE). To participate in this project each PowerTime provider completed a MGE instructed energy-saving workshop. MGE will work with each PowerTime provider for the duration of this project to ensure the information being provided is accurate and achievable.
People in cash-strapped West Virginia earn time credits
to make and install solar panels and use the savings on
energy bills to fund the program
PowerTime 2013 Goals
• Solar panels on all appropriate surfaces• More energy efficiency through a variety of methods• Education for workers, renters, owners• Solar hot water heating• Training in skilled trades for people in neighborhood• Identify skilled workers in neighborhood• Varied points of entry into project (for different ages, abilities, skill sets, time commitments, etc)
• Longterm employment possibilities• Cooperative effort (to do this we must be greater than the sum of our parts)
• Allied Dr. as model for other communities• Reduce the need for fulltime employment (redesign work at a human scale)
