Electric appliances, energy efficiency and renewable energy are just a few of the terms you might hear when talking about “electrification.” 

If you’re curious about the benefits of electrification but aren’t sure where to begin, join us for the first workshop in the 1-2-3 Electrify series.

The workshop will walk through the basics of home electrification and introduce a simple roadmap to help you start your electrification journey. Enjoy a presentation from experts and then hear from your neighbors about their electrification experience.

Please bring your questions about home electrification to get answers from our panelists. This workshop will also cover rebate opportunities.

Feeling the spark? Register for the Introduction to Electrification workshop on May 8 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Superior Community Center (1500 Coalton Road) or via Zoom. Light refreshments will be provided.

Save the date! Learn more about the series and upcoming events. The 1-2-3 Electrify series is delivered in partnership with the Town of Superior, City of Louisville, City of Lafayette and Xcel Energy's Partners in Energy.

Tackle that problem area in your yard once and for all by planting a beautiful, waterwise Garden In A Box this spring.

These professionally designed kits are perfect for Colorado yards and are super easy to install. Plus, they can help you save around 7,300 gallons of water over the garden's lifetime compared to a traditional grass lawn, which can also mean savings on your water bill.
