Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op
Local Energy for a Sustainable Future
Bristol Community Solar Project
Have you wanted to get the electricity for your home or business from the sun, but don’t have a roof or yard that would allow you to do that? For example, your roof is facing the wrong way, or is shaded by tall trees. Or your yard is too small. Or maybe you live in a condo, or rent an apartment? Whatever the problem, the Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op of Middlebury has a solution for you: Community Solar.
The Bristol Community Solar Project is SOLD OUT and went live on December 22, 2021
Check out our videos of the project:

Acorn Energy and CEAC Team Up to Create LiveGreenVT, Champlain Valley Climate and Energy Guide

A digital version of the guide was launched in September, 2020, followed by a printed version sometime in the foreseeable future. There is no charge for a basic listing in the guide.
