Voting day on Peterborough’s warrant, May 11, draws ever closer, and proponents of Article 11, which commits the town to 100 percent renewable energy, are rallying. Their efforts were bolstered after helping to squash a legislative threat to community power, a major element of the plan to expand renewable use, earlier this year. The town’s electric vehicle charging station is also expected to come online this summer.
Article 11 seeks to commit Peterborough to transition to 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030 and 100 percent renewable heat and transportation by 2050 in a non-legally binding agreement. It stipulates completing an action plan by December 2022.
