US EPA names Wellesley MA as the first Green Power Community in Massachusetts

 


Wellesley MA Green Power Community

On Tuesday, September 4, 2012, the Town of Wellesley was named by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as the first Green Power Community in Massachusetts, and the second in all of New England at a ceremony at Wellesley's Town Hall.

 

For the Town to be designated as a Green Power Community, at least 3% of the community-wide electricity use must be "green power" --- electricity generated from renewable resources such as wind, solar, geothermal, biogas and low-impact hydropower. Wellesley's current community "green power" usage is at 4.12%.

 

Wellesley residents can participate in the Town's Power to Choose campaign by signing up and/or increasing the amount of renewable energy they are currently using at http://www.wellesleyrenewableenergy.com/

This is quite a distinction for our town, Martin, don't you think?  The focus on energy savings and green building is something that the residents of Wellesley care deeply about. Thanks for sharing that with the community.

Hi Larry -

Wellesley is certainly the example that other towns need to follow if we want to help promote a healthy lifestyle.  It's just too bad that the stretch zoning rules are so poorly received.

Congratulations!  I know we use and generate a lot of wind power here in Colorado, actually would have thought it's more than 3%.  I'm going to have to look into this and make sure we're getting all the kudos we deserve, too!
