Town Energy Committees

SERG pioneered the concept of forming Town Energy Committees (TEC) in Vermont and New Hampshire in 2002.  These volunteer committees work to implement energy-saving and renewable energy projects in their communities.

Today we network with more than 90 TECs in each state through the NH Local Energy Committees Working Group/LECWG and Vermont Energy & Climate Action Network/VECAN.

We also work more closely with towns in the Upper Valley region of Vt. and NH, helping to form new TECs, develop and promote programs for them, support collaborative work between ECs and organize annual Upper Valley Energy Committee (UV EC) networking roundtable meetings. Below is a map of UV towns with ECs (green) and towns with energy coordinators (pink).  The blue towns have neither.  Please contact SERG for contacts to any of the Energy Committees or Coordinators below or if you are interested in forming a new TEC in one of the blue towns.
