SECO announces new builder outreach
Offers New Home Energy Certification
Sumterville, FL – SECO Energy has launched a new effort aimed at helping builders in the region get their homes certified as energy efficient. According to SECO director of corporate communications, Barry Bowman, “We have had SECO’s energy services specialists trained at the Florida Solar Energy Center to be able to offer builders a very valuable service. Our energy services group has passed the exams necessary to receive their Green Building Rater Certification. Now area builders can have SECO rate their new home construction as truly energy efficient and receive official certification through the Florida Green Building Coalition, Inc. (FGBC). That’s a good thing because more energy efficient homes in Florida mean lower utility bills and help conserve energy resources. Not only that, a green certification will give builders an edge in marketing their new construction to potential buyers.” SECO’s green team will work hand-in-hand with builders as construction progresses to ensure their building practices are meeting the standards for certification.

SECO's Jim Duncan warns of Carbon Tax
Addresses Sumter Chamber of Commerce
Wildwood, FL – SECO Energy CEO Jim Duncan brought members of the Sumter County Chamber of Commerce up to speed with regard to energy policy being formulated at the federal level that could have a crushing effect on consumers of electricity and other goods.
As he did in his keynote address before 3,500 people at SECO’s annual meeting in March, he told the business leaders that comprise the Sumter Chamber that he believes the nation is “on a collision course that will result in rapidly escalating electric rates and diminishing electric system reliability.” In his speech before the Chamber he said, “The driving forces on this collision course are man-made climate-change proponents and a government that sees climate-change legislation as a huge revenue opportunity – a/k/a taxes.” Full Story
