Company History

Twenty-one years ago, Scott Hinson (Owner and president) was intrigued by a product in an Amway catalog that saved money by extending the life of standard light bulbs. He researched other energy saving methods and pioneered a business going to local companies selling state of the art efficient lighting technologies. His first customer was Union Carbide in Danbury, CT. When utility conservation programs began in the early eighties, Scott was one of the first contractors to help business customers reduce energy by utilizing these incentive/rebate programs. As these programs grew, New England Energy Management, Inc worked closely with utility companies to secure the maximum incentives for our customers. Since then, NEEM has leveraged technology advancements to expand our line of products and our expertise in lighting upgrades and energy efficient solutions.

Scott is a founding member the Connecticut Chapter of NEEC (Northeast Efficiency Council). In 2003 a grassroots effort through NEEC helped avert a proposed Legislative raid on the ratepayer funded Conservation & Load Management Fund in Connecticut. Several owners of energy-related companies throughout the country got their start and learned the business from Scott.
