Description

What is community power and how would it help Portsmouth? Community Power, authorized by NH RSA 53-E, allows local governments to procure electric power on behalf of their residents, businesses, and municipal accounts. Community Power empowers towns, cities, and counties to choose their source of electric energy. This program allows residents to take advantage of this pooled supply, and stay with their current supplier. The Portsmouth Energy Advisory Committee and Portsmouth Smart Growth are hosting a disc To help educate our neighbors on the uses and advantages of community power, the Portsmouth Energy Advisory Committee and Portsmouth Smart Growth are hosting a discussion at 3S Artspace on June 29th. The discussion will feature panelists Sam Evans-Brown, ED of Clean Energy NH, Julia Griffin, Town Manager of Hanover, and Henry P. Herndon of the Community Power Coalition of NH. Please note: a Zoom link will also be provided for registrants that wish to attend from home. A recording of the event will also be posted at: https://www.cityofportsmouth.com/citycouncil/mayors-blue-ribbon-portsmouth-energy-advisory-committee
