On Friday, February 27, at 11:30 a.m. Georgia Power will present a check to the Facilities Management Department (1000 Seventh Street) for more than $25,000. This is the latest rebate check received by the Macon-Bibb County as part of Georgia Power’s Commercial Energy Efficiency Program. Since 2011, Macon-Bibb has earned more than $52,000 in rebates.

In 2014, Facilities Management installed high efficiency lighting at North Macon Park, Memorial Park, Freedom Park, Rosa Jackson Center, Bloomfield Recreation Center, Frank Johnson Park, and East Macon Park.  The new Tax Commissioners’ Office on Third Street included high efficient lighting, a new roof, and a reflective coating on the roof.

Georgia Power’s Energy Efficiency Program helps Macon-Bibb conserve energy and save money by installing highly efficient lighting, roofing, heating and cooling systems, and other efficient electric equipment.  “We are dedicated to helping customers make smart energy choices and identify ways to save money and lower their overall energy costs,” said Denise Martin for Georgia Power. “This rebate recognizes a concentrated effort by Macon-Bibb County, and we’re looking forward to continuing to work with them to make their buildings even more energy efficient in the future.”
