"Energy Explained RI" Videos
The “Energy Explained RI” video series takes a closer look at some of the energy issues that impact our lives here in Rhode Island. The series covers five important topics for Rhode Island residents to understand about energy and was produced by the Energy Efficiency Council and the RI Office of Energy Resources.
ENERGY LECTURE SERIES
The EEC sponsors the Plugged Into Energy Research (PIER) Lecture Series spearheaded by University of Rhode Island Cooperative Extension. Since 2015, the PIER Lecture Series has highlighted cutting-edge research and outreach projects and engages industry experts to explore how a variety of energy-related topics may affect our daily lives in the future. The goal of the PIER lecture series is to increase literacy around energy topics of concern in Rhode Island. Join us this fall at the URI Kingston Campus or on livestream!
Annual Public Forum
Each year, the EEC hosts a public forum that brings together local stakeholders for learning and dialog around current issues impacting the energy efficiency landscape in Rhode Island. The event provides a forum for cross-sector, interdisciplinary connections with the goal of progressing efforts to address the ongoing challenges of transitioning a sustainable energy system.
ENERGY EXPO AT THE HOME SHOW
Since 2014, the EEC has sponsored the Energy Expo at the Rhode Island Home Show in partnership with the Rhode Island Builders Association, Rhode Island Energy, and the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources. The Energy Expo connects Rhode Islanders with resources that can help them reduce energy usage, save money, and increase the comfort of their homes. At the Energy Expo, residents can interact with dozens of energy related companies, sign-up for a no-cost home energy assessment, attend energy seminars, and learn about clean energy programs available in Rhode Island.
K-12 Educator Resources
Educators can have a significant impact on the minds of the future. The Energy Efficiency Council sponsored the development of resources designed to help educators of all kinds teach and engage students on energy related topics including energy efficiency, renewable energy, climate science, and energy equity.
