Carteret Co. Schools Receives $153K for Improving Energy Efficiency

Carteret County schools are saving energy and money with new, more efficient fixtures and lighting.

Duke Energy-Progress awarded the school system an incentive check for more than $153,000 Wednesday.

“Any time you can conserve water and electricity and any kind of natural fuel … you’re doing what’s good for the planet,” superintendent Dan Novey said. “So we’re teaching a good lesson there and at the same time we’re going to get an incentive that’s really going to help provide better instruction because we’ll be able to use it for materials in the classroom.”

Carteret County Board of Education members will discuss how to use the money in September as part of their budget resolution.
