Energy Committee

The Energy Committee is responsible for advising the Town on matters of energy policy, and to serve as an informational resource to the citizens of Barnard for energy matters. The Energy Committee was formed to help guide the town and Barnard residents through this period of energy transition. Like its counterparts in towns all over Vermont, the Energy Committee is responsible for working with the Planning Commission on the Energy Chapter of the Town Plan, as well as offering resources and coordination for projects that conserve energy, reduce the town’s carbon footprint, and transition to renewable, sustainable energy sources.

Members of the Energy Committee are appointed by the Selectboard.

The Energy Committee typically meets the fourth Tuesday of every month in the Town Office.

Energy Committee Members:

• Elizabeth Ferry, Chair (2027)
• Karen Thorkilsen (2026)
