Must public utilities in Illinois will begin offering home energy audits and other energy conservation help to their residential customers by mid-October, the state energy agency announced. The guidelines under which electric and natural gas utilities will offer the program, known as . the Residential Conservation service, have received federal approval, said Frank Beal. director of the Illinois Institute of Natural Resources. Utility customers who live in single-family houses or in small apartment buildings will be offered an energy audit, which pinpoints ways to save energy. There will be a charge for the service. Utility representatives also will give customers a list of contractors who can perform energy-related work and another list of lending institution which can help finance such im­ provements. "The Residential Con­ servation service program could help cut home energy hills in Illinois by an estimated $16.4 million each year if only 5 percent of the eligible customers ask for energy audits and follow the r e s u l t i n g r e c o m - mendations," said Beal. The plan under which Illinois utilities will operate was prepared in response to federal legislation requiring that the services be offered in each state Development of the guidelines in Illinois took about one year, beginning in the fall of 1979. with INR coordinating the effort The Illinois Commerce c o m m i s s i o n , w h i c h regulates public utilities, adopted the plan as a formal rule in November. 1980. The plan was then submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy for approval.
