Our Mission

The Town of Woodbridge is officially a Connecticut Clean Energy Fund Community that has agreed to develop and execute programs to ensure that at least 20% of the town’s municipal and household energy comes from renewable sources by 2010. The Woodbridge Clean Energy Initiative (WCEI) is a task force of volunteer town residents that has been established by the Board of Selectmen to assist the town in reaching this goal. In addition, WCEI seeks to inspire and teach children and their families about conservation and the use of renewable energy resources.

The WCEI believes that the town can save money and serve as a role model by conserving energy and using renewable energy resources. The WCEI will work with the town to develop and execute programs to reach the following goals:

GOALS

• Have over 300 households sign up for the clean energy option on their electric bill by May 1, 2008.


• Provide information and programs to teach people about conservation and new energy technology.


• Facilitate the installation of solar collectors on municipal buildings. Some of these will be funded from state grants.


• Help the town officials and employees to be more aware of conservation options and facilitate the implementation of a Woodbridge energy plan


• Increase the awareness of Amity and Beecher students, and inspire them and their families to conserve energy and recycle household goods.


• Stimulate citizen demand for more renewable energy for electricity, heating and transportation purposes.
