About this episode
Dan DeBruler interviews Lamont Hinson about Fayetteville's Public Works Commission initiatives on energy savings and community engagement.
In this edition of Community Spotlight, WCLN’s Dan DeBruler speaks with Lamont Hinson from Fayetteville’s Public Works Commission, sharing updates on PWC’s “Time of Use” summer rates, community internships, and conservation events coming soon. Hinson explains how customers can save on summer energy bills by shifting power use outside the 3 PM – 6 PM peak window, and he highlights paid internship opportunities for college and high‑school students through the ICON program. You’ll also hear about PWC’s environmental partnerships, Earth Day initiatives, and a June 26 Conservation Expo — all part of PWC’s commitment to serve, educate, and empower the Fayetteville community.. Time‑of‑Use Tip: Avoid high‑use hours (3 – 6 PM) for up to 35 % savings. Smart Home Savings: Use programmable thermostats and ceiling fans; small changes add up. Internship Opportunities: Paid summer programs for college students and the Cumberland County ICON Program for high‑schoolers.
