The School City of East Chicago (SCEC) is proud to announce that we have received a rebate check of $232,145.96 from NIPSCO’s Energy Efficiency Programs in recognition of the district’s ongoing efforts to implement energy-saving initiatives.
The check presentation took place on Wednesday, March 12, highlighting SCEC’s commitment to sustainability and cost-saving measures that benefit both the environment and the local community. Through our participation in NIPSCO’s Energy Efficiency Programs, the district has made significant upgrades to our facilities, reducing energy consumption and lowering operational costs.
NIPSCO’s Energy Efficiency Programs support schools, businesses, and residents in reducing energy usage through rebates and incentives for implementing high-efficiency lighting, HVAC upgrades, and other sustainable solutions. The funds received will be reinvested into further initiatives that enhance the district’s infrastructure and educational experience.
SCEC remains committed to sustainable practices that benefit both students and the broader East Chicago community. This partnership with NIPSCO underlines the importance of collaboration in achieving long-term environmental and economic benefits.
