Energy Efficiency
Working together to ensure all residents in Kent County have consistent, affordable, and efficient energy services.
Why It Matters
When profit, resources, infrastructure, and community needs fall out of balance, people lose access to utilities, putting their health and safety at risk. ENTF recognizes Energy Efficiency as a systems issue, shaped by interconnected factors that require collaborative solutions.
A Better Way Forward
We envision a system where utilities are renewable, homes are energy efficient, and everyone in Kent County has consistent, affordable services that support household wellbeing.
