Energy Use Commission Seeks Commissioners

The City of Somerville's Commission on Energy Use and Climate Change (CEUCC) is currently seeking new commissioners.The CEUCC advises the City and the Mayor's Office of Sustainability and Environment on climate change and energy policy issues, including upcoming sustainability initiatives such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change impacts, innovative approaches to energy efficiency, and community outreach and education on climate change and energy. The CEUCC typically meets one weeknight per month at 7 p.m.

The CEUCC is composed of seven Somerville residents and currently has three vacancies. Appointments are for a period of three years. The City seeks Somerville residents with a background in energy, climate change, and community outreach to apply by submitting a letter of interest that specifies the applicant's relevant background and purpose for serving on the CEUCC. While the CEUCC principally provides technical advice to the City, members of the community with an interest in sustainability and experience in community engagement are encouraged to apply. Applicants are encouraged to attend one or more CEUCC meetings prior to submitting a letter of interest.

The next CEUCC meeting will be held on October 29, 2014 at the Tufts Administration Building, located at 167 Holland Street.
