Northampton Clean Energy Campaign Earns $12,000 Bonus

Thank you to the Northampton residents and small businesses that enrolled in New England GreenStart or the New England Wind Fund by June 30 and pushed Northampton over the 6% enrollment line.

If you did not sign up for clean energy during the campaign but have been wanting to, go to New England GreenStart.

Through the Massachusetts Clean Energy Choice program, Northampton’s New England GreenStart members have now helped earn over $172,000 for clean energy projects in the City. Signing up for New England GreenStart helps Northampton identify and harness sustainable energy opportunities in our City.

Participation in GreenStart has earned funds for:

• A solar array installed on JFK Middle School
• Hiring an Energy Officer to identify and harness clean energy opportunities
• Training local builders in green construction techniques
