EASSI Launch & Showcase Event

Overview

Join us to learn how nonprofits and businesses are reducing their energy consumption and saving money through the Energy Assistance and Solar Savings Initiative (EASSI)!

EASSI (pronounced "easy") is a City of South Bend Office of Sustainability program. EASSI provides technical and financial assistance for nonprofits and businesses to complete energy efficiency and renewable projects. EASSI first launched in 2022. Due to budget challenges EASSI was paused after the conclusion of program year 2025. We are excited to relaunch the latest version of EASSI!
