The Energy Hub is Islesboro’s guide to info, events, and support for
home energy improvements and community energy initiatives.

We need 130 more homes to take the survey!
Help us reach our goal of learning about 200 homes on the island. We want to hear about your home energy needs and plans! Then we'll give you personalized feedback on available rebates/incentives, and how you compare with your island neighbors. Your survey will also help us apply for the $200k Rural Energy Prize Round 2 and grants for community energy projects like solar and home insulation.
Interested in getting Window Inserts before next winter? Tell us now!
If we gather enough interest now, we will plan an Islesboro WindowDressers Community Build for October. WindowDressers keeps prices low by having recipients come together for a few days to build all of the inserts we’ve ordered on Islesboro. See the WindowDressers FAQ or contact Kizzi Barton for more info.
