The City of Raleigh and its regional partners launched a new program aimed at making homes more energy efficient and affordable. "Electrify the Triangle" will help households transition to more energy-efficient and sustainable technologies that help lower monthly utility bills. The initiative provides residents with free personalized support and access to available incentives that make home energy upgrades more affordable.
Mayor Janet Cowell emphasized the importance of ensuring that Raleigh families benefit directly from emerging clean‑energy opportunities.
“Every household should have access to opportunities to save money and make their home more comfortable," she said. "Electrify the Triangle helps residents take advantage of energy-efficient technologies and available incentives while building a more resilient future for our region.”
Administered with support from sustainability experts and regional partners, the program focuses on helping residents understand and install technologies such as heat pumps, induction cooktops, weatherization improvements, solar and battery storage, electric vehicle charging, electric lawn equipment, and more. Participants receive one‑on‑one guidance to determine which improvements make the most sense for their homes.
Megan Anderson, the City of Raleigh’s Sustainability Officer, shared how the program supports Raleigh's Community Climate Action Plan.
“Raleigh is growing quickly, and we have an opportunity to make sure that growth creates a healthier, more affordable, and more resilient community," she said. "Electrify the Triangle gives residents practical ways to save on energy costs today while helping move our region toward a cleaner energy future.”
