Salem Energy Strategy

Salem is committed to a sustainable future with its Green strategy revitalizing the community's energy landscape. As a "City for Climate Protection," Salem has established a Renewable Energy Task Force (RETF) to lead initiatives like the EPA/Keyspan Community Energy Challenge. By pledging to reduce energy use by 20% in five years and implementing fuel-efficient vehicles and sustainable building codes, Salem aims to meet its goals. Upcoming projects include solar panels in schools and improved traffic light systems, reflecting our dedication to clean energy choices.
