Wilton Energy Commission
Our commission was formed to help the community lower its energy usage and
adopt more alternative energy. It's easy to get involved! For starters, sign-up for the Clean Energy Option and replace your lightbulbs with compact fluorescents (CFLs) (visit the SmartLiving Catalog to buy CFLs and other subsidized EnergyStar products).
In addition, if you would like to volunteer an hour of your time to help us get the message out, contact us at wiltonenergy@gmail.com.

New online database of energy efficiency policies
On August 12, 2008, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) unveiled a new Web resource for state policymakers and energy efficiency advocates. This site is the initial phase of ACEEE's new State Energy Efficiency Policy, an ongoing project under the umbrella of ACEEE's State Energy Efficiency Policy Activities. The site serves as an easy-to-use online database of energy efficiency policies in the states, searchable by state or by policy. Please visit ACEEE's Website to take advantage of this resource.
Please have a look through the rest of our site for more energy saving tips and a wealth of information on energy efficiency and related topics. If you have suggestions for content or any other feedback, please email wiltonenergy@gmail.com.
