Utility bills can be confusing and there’s not always clear information about how to save on home energy costs, whether you’re renting or own your home. Join the Citizens Utility Board (CUB), a nonprofit dedicated to advocating for utility consumers in Illinois, to learn about your energy choices and practical ways to save money on your utility bills. During this presentation, CUB experts will cover: How to read and understand your utility bills; The energy choices available to you; Energy efficiency programs that can help you save energy and money; Solar options and how they may benefit your household. Whether you’re looking to lower your bills, make informed decisions, or exploring renewable options, this program will provide clear, actionable information. Time will also be reserved for questions. About Citizens Utility Board: After a series of local referendums showed overwhelming support for the creation of an advocate for utility customers, the Illinois General Assembly created CUB in 1983. The CUB Act gave the nonprofit, nonpartisan group the mission to fight for the rights of customers of investor-owned electric, gas and telecom utilities across Illinois. Since CUB opened its doors, the watchdog has saved Illinois consumers more than $20 billion by fighting proposed electricity, natural gas and telephone rate hikes. For every dollar CUB has raised during that time, it has yielded roughly $300 in savings—a dramatic return on investment that represents one more reason why the St. Louis Post-Dispatch praised CUB as the “gold standard” of consumer advocates.
