October is pretty busy when you’re in energy efficiency.
Since 2012, October has been designated “National Clean Energy Action Month”, a yearly federal movement that reminds us in the U.S. of the importance of clean energy, environmental well-being, and sustainability.
Energy Efficiency Day on October 2nd puts a special LED spotlight on the movement though, with businesses and federal agencies across the country promoting the benefits of saving energy for both your home and business.
But that’s just a few reasons why Donnelly Energy is busy this month!
What we’re up to in October;
TUESDAY – OCTOBER 1
NJSGA Annual Meeting
Essex County Country Club | West Orange, NJ
Donnelly Industries (Energy and Construction) will be tabling at the New Jersey State Golf Association’s Annual Meeting, as well as giving a brief overview of upcoming changes with utility energy efficiency programs for 2025.
WEDNESDAY – OCTOBER 2
Energy Efficiency Day
United States
As we had mentioned earlier, Energy Efficiency Day or #EEDay2024 celebrates all things energy saving on the first Wednesday of every October. You can peruse their official hashtag on platforms like Facebook and X to see which states signed official declarations or learn helpful tips.

Happy Birthday Diana
Atlantic City, NJ
Diana, our Marketing Director, is working at a conference on her birthday. Boo. We’ll probably do a birthday lunch next week, or we may entirely forget like that *one* time.
(Also, it’s weird to refer to her in the 3rd person considering she’s the one who wrote this blog. How meta.)
THURSDAY – OCTOBER 31
HALLOWEEN
Worldwide
Energy efficiency is all treats, no tricks…except Daylight Savings Time is ending that very weekend. Happy Halloween!
