DiMare Pastry Shop will save more than $20,000 in energy costs this year.
For more than 45 years, DiMare Pastry Shop has been bringing sunshine into their customers’ lives with their specialty baked goods. Started by Ugo and Bice DiMare in 1976, DiMare Pastry expanded to a second location in Stamford in 1997. Both locations are now run by three generations, including Ugo and Bice’s daughters Maria and Sabrina and granddaughter Brittany. As their business has grown, energy costs have continued to rise. In 2020, they made the sweet decision to go solar using C-PACE financing, allowing the family business to reduce the burden of energy costs now and for many years to come.
“We are always so busy and focused on serving our customers. We don’t have time to think about rising energy costs. Going green with our new solar system takes some of the pressure off our business by giving us lower energy costs. We’re proud to be doing the right thing for the environment too. We want to keep baking, delighting our customers and continuing on as a long-standing partner with the towns we serve.”
