Mission: The purpose of the Peterborough Ad Hoc Energy Committee is to build capacity to lower Peterborough’s carbon footprint and prepare the town to be resilient in a future marked by climate change. We believe it is imperative that Peterborough, as a community, face the challenges associated with energy use and climate change by planning for a more sustainable future. We also believe there are economic opportunities for towns that take such a proactive approach. Finally, we see the Energy Committee as an effective vehicle to act on the commitments the town made in its Climate Resolution at the 2007 Town Meeting and in the 2017 Climate Resolution signed by the Select Board.
