This web site is being developed so that the community can be more informed on ways to help conserve energy and to also learn about alternative renewable energy resources.

The Green Energy Team was officially established in 2009 as a town appointed committee whose primary responsibility incudes the investigation of renewable energy options and ways the town and community can do to conserve energy. Woodstock is a member of the CT Clean Energy Program and the seven member team meets the first Tuesday of every month.

Woodstock Schools Get on-Board BOE votes "Green"

Our recent proposal to the Board of Education to purchase 100% Clean Renewable Energy was unanimously approved last week.  We thank the BOE on behalf of all the members and community for supporting our efforts to "buy green" and save utility costs.

Over 1.3 million kilowatts (1.3 GWh) of energy will now be replaced as renewable energy and this now pushes Woodstock to the top in CT as the only "Green Town" purchasing 100% renewable energy for it's municipalities and schools, according to Bob Wall of the CT Clean Energy Program.

Woodstock has now earned 3 additional kWh panels which will be added the 1 already earned which will now qualify Woodstock for a free solar installation to be provided by the state.  All we have to do next is have the BOS and BOE agree to a 5 year committment to purchase renewable energy. If this is achieved before 2011, then Woodstock will be given $30,000 toward a FREE Solar installation of our 4 solar PV panels by the State of CT as a part of the CT Clean Energy Program.

Woodstock Celebrates Becoming a Green Community

With the recent acceptance by the Board of Selectman to purchase 100% Renewable Energy, Woodstock has reached it's goal in achieving a 'Green Energy Community' status with the CCEF program... download letter. Our goals continue to increase community memberships in the purchase of clean energy and to also move forward with the installation of PV ground mounts at the Transfer Station for Solar Power. We plan on using the monies from the block grants and other programs to finance this solar installation.

Woodstock, along with many other communities, has passed a resolution to commit to the state mandates for a 20% reduction by 2010, as a result, we will be organizing our information and posting it here for all to read and use in the push for a cleaner environment. Read more about the Connecticut Clean Energy Communities Program and what you can do to save and conserve energy.

To date, Woodstock has over 130 growing members who have signed up for Renewable Energy through the CT Clean Energy Fund with CL&P participating. This represents over 2.8% of the households here in Woodstock. The town is given FREE solar panels for every 100 points accumulated, to be used toward a cleaner environment. The scoring system for points has changed recently, so a 50% enrollment is now considered 1-point. Woodstock has, as of this post, earned over 101 points and has qualified to receive its first PV panel. We encourage everyone to participate... click here for more info.
