Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas is sponsoring their annual Energy Efficient Makeover Contest for an Arkansas electric cooperative member who owns an all electric manufactured home. Valued at up to $50,000, contestants must be a member of the cooperative in good standing, submit an image of their manufactured home and answer a few questions about the home, according to salineriverchronicle.com. The contest also teaches entrants about energy efficiency in their homes, MHProNews understands. Sandra Byrd of Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas, says: “Since approximately 15 percent of Arkansans reside in manufactured housing, we decided to focus on this segment of our membership for 2014. Technological advancements in energy efficiency retrofit components and measures are now applicable to manufactured dwellings. Our team of experts will transform the winner’s home into an energy efficiency marvel.”
