Home, Business & Municipal Energy Resources

Making choices that save energy -- in your home, business or community -- can have a positive impact on the environment while also saving you money. In this section of our website, CCE-Chautauqua provides resources that can help you learn about ways you can reduce energy consumption and use energy resources more efficiently.
