Alternative Energy Committee
Purpose:
The Alternative Energy Committee is an Ad-Hoc committee appointed by the Selectboard to advise the Town Manager and Selectboard in identifying ways to help control the escalating costs of energy in the Town of Duxbury.
Proposed Charge:
- Work with Town staff to develop a reporting system to benchmark current energy usage by the Town.
- Identify potential ways of reducing energy usage and costs. Methods of reducing energy costs may include conservation, technical improvements, monitoring, cogeneration, alternative sources of power generation such as wind and solar, and hybrid technologies.
- Propose targets for reduction of energy usage and help town staff develop an action plan to achieve these targets.
- Advise the Town Manager and the Selectboard during development of budget articles relating to alternative energy strategies. Work may include proposing by-law changes to allow for construction of new technologies.
- Identify and assist the Town Manager with applications for grant opportunities and other non-tax methods of funding proposed projects.
- Keep the public informed as to the progress of the committee‘s efforts by reporting periodically to the Selectboard and holding public information meetings.
