The Community Congress
Dear Community Members,

Please join us at the Community Congress to help develop a clear energy vision for our community  This one-day event at the Miners Foundry welcomes all Nevada City community members and stakeholders. Together we will work with a professional facilitator to design a four-year, quantifiable plan.

The day’s goal is to draft an outline for our town to:

  • Raise awareness of our community's potential
  • Increase the use of clean energy
  • Reduce our carbon footprint
  • Promote a resilient local economy

By tapping into the combined wisdom of our community we can create a plan and a direction for Nevada City’s energy security. You are most cordially invited! 

Please Pre-Register for this event as there is a limited amount of space! Click here for the Community Congress registration form.  (Please let us know if you have any difficulty downloading this form.)

What does this event bring to our community?

We are pleased to announce that PowerUp-Nc will be part of a statewide campaign to promote energy effiency products and practices with a Flex Your Power grant for $12,000.This rural outreach campaign is a comprehensive marketing and outreach campaign that includes print and radio advertising, a toll-free informational phone line, media partnership promotions and community outreach.  The goal of the campaign is to provide rural utility customers with information about ways to conserve energy, save money, and protect the environment.  This program is funded by California utility ratepayers and administered by the California Investor Owned Utilities under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission.  California customers who choose to participate in this program are not obligated to purchase any additional services offered by the contractor. 

Come visit us at upcoming local events such as the Home Show, Earth Day, Hot Summer Nights, and the BriarPatch Harvest Festival where we will be raffling a basket of energy efficiency products worth $200 and giving away free stuff like CFL bulbs, pens, frisbees and more.
