NSTAR takes energy products on the road

NSTAR is rolling out a new traveling display that will showcase current trends in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies.

The NSTAR Energy Showroom of Innovation, or NESI, is visiting local communities and giving customers a chance to view several cutting-edge products, including the latest in LED lighting, solar panels, compact wind turbines and miniature heat pumps.

"By driving our NESI trailer right to their neighborhoods, we're making it convenient to experience the latest technologies in a hands-on, educational setting." Penni Conner, NSTAR vice president of customer care, said in a statement.

The NESI trailer is a 16-foot-long showroom on wheels that will stop at local schools, energy fairs, home shows, and other community events.

Along with the innovative technologies, the trailer will also demonstrate traditional energy efficiency standards like compact fluorescent lights and cellulose insulation.
