Pelham's Push for Greener Living: Explore Energy Savings and Rebates at Tomorrow's Town Meeting

The Pelham community, which includes over 1,200 residents across 550 households, produces about 10,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases each year, mainly from residential sources. This high level of emissions underscores the importance of adopting sustainable energy solutions to reduce the community's carbon footprint.

Residents have several options to improve energy efficiency, such as using electric vehicles, electric heat pumps, and hybrid water heaters. Energy-efficient appliances and home solar panels with battery storage systems can also help lower energy use and costs.

Pelham offers state and federal incentives and rebates to support these choices. For example, the MassSave program, managed by Eversource, provides a Home Energy Assessment that helps households understand their energy consumption and offers financial incentives for upgrades in insulation, heating, cooling, and water heating.

The 'Electrify Pelham!' initiative, led by the Pelham Energy Committee, promotes home electrification to reduce carbon emissions and enhance sustainability. Residents are encouraged to visit the town's website to learn more about this initiative.
