The Town of Norris Point Brightens Up Their Community

The Town of Norris Point sits on the Northern Peninsula, adjacent to Gros Morne National Park – and just like for any town, energy use can really add up! takeCHARGE helps customers save on monthly electricity costs with personalized tips and rebates on all kinds of energy-efficient products. Local municipalities like the Town of Norris Point are turning their bright ideas into positive actions that conserve energy and, in turn, benefit everyone!

The Town had a lightbulb moment when they realized just how much energy they could save on lighting – takeCHARGE helped them access rebates for LED bulbs, luminaires, and wall packs to update the lighting in their town hall and fire hall. These changes have helped save on electricity costs, cut maintenance costs, and offer better lighting for their facilities.

Councillor Jeffrey Reid from the Town of Norris Point has been an energy-efficient champion for the town by working hard to update the lighting in their municipal facilities. “By upgrading our lighting to LEDs,” he says, “we were able to brighten up our town hall and give it a more modern feel, all while saving energy every month. The takeCHARGE Business Efficiency Program rebate allowed us to save over $2,000 on these upgrades!”

The Town of Norris Point is committed to taking steps to save energy, and they help foster a continued spirit of energy efficiency in their town – in 2023, the Town won the takeCHARGE Luminary Award for Community Impact, and in 2024 they won the takeCHARGE Town Challenge! They used their winning $10,000 grant to collaborate with the Bonne Bay Cottage Hospital Heritage Corporation, owners and operators of the Old Cottage Hospital in Norris Point, to install two heat pumps. The heat pumps improved their building’s energy efficiency and reduce their heating costs, while also providing a warm, comfortable atmosphere for visitors.

The town plans to keep incorporating energy efficiency and sustainability into future development of the Centre as it evolves to meet the needs of the community – talk about a bright idea!
