Governor Patrick launches new energy efficiency program

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A new state-funded energy efficiency program designed to help cities and towns duplicate a model being used in Cambridge has been launched by Governor Patrick.

The Cambridge Energy Alliance is hoping to reduce electrical demand by 15 percent at peak times. Patrick's $2 million state program will help other cities adopt similar programs.
