The Woodbridge Clean Energy Initiative Task Force (WCEI) wants to show you ways to save money on your energy bills. These savings will offset the increase in your electric bill that you will be charged by United Illuminating for signing up for CT Clean Energy Options ($.011/kWh). By using less energy you are also have less impact on global climate change. To be a good steward of the planet and to help Woodbridge go GREEN we invite you to do some of these things. The actual savings may vary by household, but, in total, the saving and the high Return on Investments (ROI) are there!

Woodbridge Clean Energy Initiative Seminar Series
What it is:
The WCEI Task Force is pleased to offer a year-long seminar series. These presentations take two forms, a) presentations by experts in a particular energy field with commentary by knowledgeable town residents, and, 2) movies on an environmental energy theme followed by discussion. These seminars will be the third Thursday of each month starting on November 15, 2007 at 7 PM and will run for 12 months. Town residents are invited to attend free of charge. The sessions will be held at:
The Center School Building,
4 Meeting House Lane, Woodbridge
in the CAFÉ in the basement
Refreshments to be provided.
Why we are hosting these presentations:
Like hundred of cities and towns across America, Woodbridge is committed to saving energy, thereby reducing its energy bills and lowering its environmental impact. In addition, the town has met its commitment to the CT Clean Energy Communities program of purchasing 20% of its energy from renewable sources. The Town now buys 25% of its energy from wind power, a source whose price has fallen dramatically in recent years. The more consumers demand clean energy, the more prices can decline as developers build more projects to meet rising demand.
The town of Woodbridge is committed to combating global climate change and helping its residents save money. The WCEI is chartered to educate Woodbridge town residents on the need for reducing our consumption of energy and to help us curb global climate change. See: www.ctcleanenergy.blogspot.com for the WCEI Mission Statement.
