Live Well Springfield Climate Change Health and Equity coalition has advocated through the City Council Sustainability and Environmental Subcommittee for the support of Community Choice Energy (CCE) in Springfield. On December 5th, the subcommittee called for a vote through the City Council, and the council members unanimously supported it. CCE is an energy-supply option that would allow the City of Springfield to get up to 100% of its electricity from clean, renewable energy such as solar and wind power. Eversource would still provide our energy, and we would still pay our electric bills to Eversource.
This vote is one step towards bringing forth energy price stability and climate resilience for residents in Springfield. Our CCE Factsheet (Hoja de hechos) highlights the further steps we need to take to have CCE in Springfield. The coalition will continue to educate community residents about Community Choice Energy through its CCE informative video and community outreach. The coalition will now advocate to the mayor and city staff to see what department will take up the charge to implement CCE in the institution.
Let your voice be heard today by signing the Springfield Community Choice Energy Petition (Petición de Springfield Community Choice Energy (Opciones Comunitarias de Energía). To learn more about Community Choice Energy, visit www.livewellspringfield.org/cce.
