East Hampton's Clean Energy Task Force

Clean Energy Forum Series
Our town's Clean Energy Task Force was organized just about two years ago. Since then, your town has signed on with the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund to become a Clean Energy Community. Owing to the success of the recent St. Clements Clean Energy Expo, the Task Force will host a series of forums; each will tackle a different aspect of clean energy.

Both of the upcoming forums are free and open to the public. However, the Task Force asks that you bring a non-perishable food item for donation to the East Hampton Food Bank.


Going Green with Geothermal Systems
On Wednesday May 20th at 7 p.m. at the East Hampton Middle School guest presenter Rick King of King Energy Associates will discuss closed-loop geothermal systems. Mr. King is a regular on NPR, where he shares his insights and answers questions about geothermal system installations, costs, utility savings, and funding programs. King Energy is based in Lebanon, CT.

Going Green with Solar Systems
On Wednesday June 17th at 7 p.m. Brad Wheatley of Solatek Energy will discuss solar powered systems and how they may be used by local homeowners and businesses. Solatek is based in Hebron, CT.
