CENTRE, Ala. — Cenergistic Energy has saved the Cherokee County Board of Education $1.727,127.000 to date since the program was first enacted in Cherokee County.
These savings do not include savings for the first four months of the program and savings attributed to the reduced equipment repair, and LED lighting grants.
Russell Jacoway is the Energy Specialist for Cenergistic to the Cherokee County School Board and he made a very detailed presentation during the boards’ most recent meeting.
