Other Local Committees in the State of New Hampshire

The New Hampshire Community Energy Project is a project devoted to the objective distribution and sharing of information. Germinating during the series of statewide sessions for local energy committees, this idea began to take form during the meetings as discussion focused on how to keep everyone informed. The decision to pursue this effort arose from the first meeting of the Rockingham/Strafford Energy Committee Alliance.
