(UI) — In a collaborative effort, Duke Energy and Greenville, S.C., have introduced the POWER ON initiative, aiming to assist homeowners in burying their power lines and ensuring a reliable energy supply, Fox Carolina reported.
Under this program, eligible residents can receive financial aid of up to $3,000, making the process of undergrounding more accessible in Greenville.
To participate, interested homeowners need to complete the POWER ON Program Application. Upon approval, a representative from Duke Energy will conduct a meeting to assess the project's scope, as outlined on the City's website.
