Tamworth Energy Committee sets 2026 priorities: home tour, business EV outreach, and town-building efficiency projects
Summary
The committee agreed to pursue a Clean Energy Home Tour in Oct.–Nov. if volunteers lead it, to encourage EV chargers at local businesses and White Lake State Park, and to explore heat pumps, cooling centers, and a small solar system to lower town-building costs.
Committee members discussed several priority initiatives for 2026 and agreed on a short list of projects the group will pursue if volunteers and funding are available. The group tentatively prioritized a Clean Energy Home Tour in October or November 2026 contingent on volunteer leaders, outreach to local businesses (Momma Bear’s, GIII, the Yankee Smokehouse, Watson’s General Store) and White Lake State Park about customer‑focused EV chargers, and expanded educational outreach via social media.
Members also explored municipal energy improvements: installing heat pumps at the Town House, creating cooling centers in town buildings, energy upgrades at the Brett School, and a potential small solar installation to offset town building electricity expenses. Peg Loughran agreed to gather information about creating and managing an Instagram account to amplify educational outreach and resident stories about solar and heat‑pump savings.
