Why My City is Cool

Kittery is not a Cool City yet. Now's the time to get involved!

The Kittery Energy Advisory Committee (KEAC) was establish on February 2, 2008 with a goal to reduce energy consumption and develop more sustainable energy practices in Kittery. Four sub-committees: the Reducing Energy Use and Costs Sub-Committee; the Policy Changes and Ordinances Sub-Committee; the Education Sub-Committee; and the Consumers Sub-Committee have been established.

KEAC is charged with advising the Town Manager and Council on energy programs, projects, and policies, which through conservation and alternative energy use, work to achieving to reduce Kittery’s reliance on fossil fuels. KEAC, an outgrowth of a smaller Town Council energy committee, allows wider community involvement and reflects growing community interest in energy conservation issues.
