In FY18 [July 2017 – June 2018], the NEC targeted home weatherization and residential solar installations, as well as statewide collaborations on carbon reduction and beginning work on transportation.
Through the Committee's 6th Solarize campaign, again with Norwich Solar Technologies and Solaflect Energy, 32 additional households chose solar electricity through 2017. The Norwich total is about 19% of residences. The NEC continued the Weatherize campaign (piloted January-April 2017 with Vital Communities) in which vetted contractors provide town residents with home efficiency quotes without the usual $400 home energy audit. 12 residents signed up; 4 pursued work. NEC member Susan Hardy met with Vital Communities staff and generated ideas to promote biking, walking, and busing. Susan is participating in the monthly meetings of the UV Transportation Management Association. Other activities:
