Clean Energy Task Force Seeks New Members

The Middletown Clean Energy Taskforce has been working on many energy supply and conservation measures for the City of Middletown over the past 8 years. The Taskforce has been a leader in lowering the cost of electricity for municipal buildings; promoting solar power on City and Board of Education buildings and schools, respectively; advocating for a fuel cell as part of the plans for the  Middletown High School; and, studying a variety of cutting edge technologies for city owned streetlights and Palmer Field stadium lighting. The Taskforce is also currently exploring the costs:benefits of municipal ownership of all city-wide streetlights and pursuing new community outreach initiatives. Middletown residents interested or with expertise in clean energy, energy conservation and/or emerging technologies (i.e., LED, induction) and who can assist the Taskforce are asked to contact the City. The Clean Energy Taskforce meets the third Wednesday of each month at 12:30 pm in city hall (lunch meetings). Meetings last no longer than 1.5 hours.
