City Managers Learn Energy Management

October 2003

Through a grant received from the U.S. Department of Energy, the Kentucky Division of Energy with the Kentucky Pollution Prevention Center conducted a workshop in June to help Lexington Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) learn how to reduce its $5-$7 million utility bill. More than 40 LFUCG managers attended the workshop and learned the basic "whys, whats, and hows" of an Energy Management Program.

LFUCG chief administrative officer Michael Dohoney said after the workshop, "I am convinced that the workshop will prove beneficial in helping our organization become more energy efficient." He added, "We would readily recommend this type of workshop to other local governments."
