ROYAL OAK – Rob Fowler, CEO of the Small Business Association of Michigan, announces a new partnership with Consumers Energy and DTE to develop an energy office at SBAM that will position three people in the field to work with small businesses to develop better energy efficiency strategies.
Fowler said the program is aimed not only at SBAM members, but also non members. The energy consultants will perform free audits to find ways to save small businesses energy and money. For instance, installing new machinery and lighting, monitoring consumption and other similar strategies could be recommended. Saving energy means both DTE and Consumers Energy will not have to build more power stations to meet higher demand, he said. Zero cost financing also is available to pay for the upgrades.
