Between 2013 and 2015, Vital Communities teamed up with communities and solar installers across the Upper Valley to help residents and small businesses go solar. Some communities have since gone on to launch their own Solarize campaigns to help even more neighbors switch to solar energy.

Vital Communities is working toward a future where 100% of the energy we need is clean, renewable, and accessible to all. Local, clean, accessible energy – to heat and cool our homes, run our businesses, and get around – is essential to a thriving Upper Valley, and our path to get there must be just and equitable. Vital Communities works at the community level with town energy committees, clean energy businesses, and other partners to reduce our region’s reliance on fossil fuels and ease the disproportionate burden of energy costs and impacts on our most vulnerable neighbors.
