Medford Energy Committee
Medford City Hall , 85 George P. Hassett Drive , Medford, Massachusetts, United States

The Medford Energy Committee works in conjunction with the Medford Office of Energy and the Environment to support the City’s goals of energy independence and environmental stewardship. The Committee provides additional technical and consulting expertise to the City and organizes energy and environmental related projects, events and programs to benefit the residents of Medford. The Committee is comprised of residents and staff who bring a variety of expertise to the city, particularly in the areas of energy efficiency, clean energy, community outreach and education.  Each member of the committee is appointed by the Mayor. The Committee is staffed and organized by the Energy Efficiency Coordinator or another staff member from the Office of Energy and the Environment.  Our mission is to promote policies and actions that improve energy efficiency, encourage conservation, and increase the use of renewable energy to meet our present needs while considering future generations of the Medford community.  The Energy Committee is made up entirely of Medford residents.

Medford Energy History

 Medford’s commitment to green initiatives and clean energy goes back over a decade.   The most visible representation of this commitment is evidenced by the wind turbine at the McGlynn & Andrews School complex.  This turbine stands as a beacon for residents and visitors traveling in and out of Boston on a daily basis, reminding them of the importance and beauty of a commitment to renewable energy.  This turbine is only one of many projects and policies that Medford has developed over the past ten years.
