Community Power Status Report

Last July, attendees at Hanover’s Town Meeting voted to adopt the proposed Electric Aggregation Plan (EAP) to establish Hanover Community Power, a town-wide municipal electricity aggregation. Adoption of the EAP enabled Hanover to begin working with the Community Power Coalition of NH for the procurement of 100% green power for Hanover “retail” (residential and small business) electricity customers.

EV Future — Enough Chargers?

The number of Electric Vehicles (EV’s) on the road is increasing quickly, spurred on by government subsidies, concern for the climate, and Hanover’s own goal of 100% renewable transportation by 2050. But these cars need to be charged. Most people with EV’s do most of their charging at home, but for people who live in apartments, and for trips longer than the range of the car, there need to be public chargers. That has become the focus of the efforts to move towards electric transportation.
