Topsham creating new energy and sustainability committee

TIMES RECORD • September 20, 2020

After a group of residents helped the town secure a solar power purchase agreement earlier this year, Topsham selectmen agreed to create a permanent energy committee to tackle energy conservation projects going forward. The energy committee, as envisioned by Topsham Solar Advocates, will research and recommend energy policies and projects to selectmen to save the town money and to conserve energy. The committee also could evaluate energy conservation practices with residents, schools and businesses and spread public education about renewable energy.
