We will be starting on our Energy Master Plan (EMP) as soon as we get a consultant onboard.

To prepare for better communications, I have created a TikTok, Instagram and Facebook page for us (we do already have a Facebook Group page).

You will be able to find our content on these platforms by searching for the hashtag #ShannonTownSEC

You can also follow our story here! https://shannontownsustainableenergy.blogspot.com/

Just an update that out application for funding to create an Energy Master Plan for Shannon Town is is progress. It may be a few weeks yet before it is complete.
