The West Vincent Clean Energy Transition Team (WVCETT) was formed (Resolution 12-2020) to create and enact a plan to evaluate current municipal and community energy use and create a roadmap (the Clean Energy Transition Plan) for the transition.
The plan is evolving and continues to be revised based on advances in renewable energy technologies, progress, priorities, and regional changes.
The CETT collaborates with township residents, WV township staff and committees, and other municipal teams and organizations to encourage and assist with energy conservation and transition consistent with the Chester County’s Climate Action Plan and the Phoenixville Regional Planning Commission (PRPC) comprehensive plan.
The team maintains open communication with residents and local businesses, providing avenues for community involvement and informed decision-making.
Please send questions and comments regarding the team and transition effort to cett@westvincenttwp.org and WVCETT@gmail.com.
