There will be a public meeting on Tuesday, June 14, for the Make Oak Ridge Energy Efficient, or MORE2, a program meant to reduce electrical use in all-electric homes that are at least 20 years old.

The meeting is an opportunity for anyone interested in learning more about the application process for qualified, low-income Oak Ridge residents, a press release said.

The meeting is scheduled from 4-6 p.m. Tuesday, June 14, in the Fellowship Hall of the First Presbyterian Church, which is at 1051 Oak Ridge Turnpike.

Information on other energy saving programs will also be available for those who do not qualify for the MORE2 program. MORE2 representatives will be at the meeting to help interested applicants complete applications, the press release said.

The MORE2 program began taking applications in April.

“The program is designed to perform whole-home, deep energy retrofits for 229 qualified residents in homes that are at least 20 years old,” the press release said. “The project goal is to reduce electrical energy usage in all-electric homes to improve the quality of life for lower income residents and homeowners by significantly increasing the efficiency and comfort of their homes.”

Those who attend the June 14 meeting will receive energy-saving items and low- to no-expense energy-saving practices material to immediately improve energy savings in their homes.

For more information about this project or to apply, please visit www.MakeOREE.com or call (865) 375-4656.
