  • The Pembroke-Hopkins Park Energy Efficiency Pilot (PEEP) provides an alternative to fossil fuel infrastructure in rural Illinois by implementing energy efficiency and electrification upgrades in low-income homes. The project, led by the Community Development Corporation of Pembroke and Hopkins Park (CDC-PHP) in collaboration with RMI and other partners, replaces propane and wood heating with electric air source heat pumps and induction stoves while improving insulation. Early results show reduced energy bills and improved indoor comfort for participants. The project aims to serve as a transferable model for other disenfranchised rural communities across the United States by focusing on community trust and relatable examples of clean energy success.
