Acting on a recommendation from the Chester Energy Task Force, Camp Hazen YMCA undertook an improvement last April of lighting and electrical equipment in its Bunting Dining Hall. This upgrade was made possible by the Small Business Energy Advantage (SBEA) program offered through Eversource. Electrical usage in July and August 2016 dropped by more than 25 percent compared to the same period in 2015, and demand, which is a separate charge, dropped almost seven percent.
