West Hartford and Clean Energy
The Connecticut Clean Energy Communities Program is a partnership between the State's CT Clean Energy Fund and SmartPower and promotes the use of clean and renewable energy. Towns and cities around the state are committing to the program and West Hartford was one of the first. We've committed to the 20% by 2010 program sponsored by the State and SmartPower. Individual residents can support clean renewable energy options for their own homes - and help West Hartford earn free solar panels for public buildings. Click here for West Hartford's Sign-up Form.

West Hartford has committed to purchasing 20% of its electric supply from clean, renewable energy supplies by 2010. We intend to lead by examble and do our share of reducing our environmental footprint.

You can help us by choosing clean energy for your own home thru your electric company. For every 100 household purchasers in West Hartford, the town earns a 1 kwh solar array. It's an easy way to make a difference for our community, for Connecticut, and for our world.

Town Hall receives five-panel solar array


On July 8, our first three solar panels were installed on the roof of town hall and have begun creating clean energy. Two more will be installed soon for a total fo five panels. As more panels are earned they will be placed on other public buildings and schools. For every 100 households that sign up for clean energy, we earn one solar array panel. Take a look at the program today and take the first step toward a cleaner future for West Hartford and the world.

When you sign up for the CT Clean Energy Options program your electricity will work the same as it always has and you will still receive your electric bill from CL&P. The only difference is that, for just a few extra dollars per month, you will be supporting cleaner air, reduction of greenhouse gases, a healthier community and energy independence.

Energy is called "clean when it's produced by tapping into clean sources such as solar, wind, waves, and other renewable technologies - and by not burning air polluting fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal. Clean energy technologies produce little or no pollution, and they generate power from energy sources that are in plentiful supply and virtually never run out.
