Energy & Environment

New England's economic health, future growth and the well being of its citizens are directly linked to the availability of reliable, reasonably priced energy and environmentally sound energy policies. For the New England Council, these goals are a priority.

The New England Council's continued work on a variety of important energy and environmental issues and policies are helping to ensure that New England's citizens and businesses continue to have access to affordable and secure energy resources. The Council's Energy and Environment Committee provides a forum for New England's energy and environment communities to discuss public policy priorities for the region.

In order to raise awareness about the region's energy challenges and to discuss solutions, the Council routinely hosts forums on important energy topics.
