Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To build resillient communities in central New Hampshire by providing access to sustainable local energy and local food leading to economic stability, a clean environment and healthy living.

  • Sustainable Energy: PAREI manages and consults on energy projects in areas such as solar energy, solar installations, renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions. We provide advice for public inquiries and small businesses. We perform introductory energy audits to encourage energy efficiency and conservation. We present 24 NHSaves educational workshops annually and coordinate community gatherings centered around sustainability, resilliency and all things energy. This year we installed 14 PV systems and added 124.69 Kw to our local grid

    Expenses $368,275

  • We operate NH Solar Shares in partnership with the NH Electric Cooperative. Our program installs and operates community solar to share solar energy with low-income families through electric bill credits while increasing the portion of clean renewable energy on our grid. In 2025 we supplied $10,611 in electricity bill credits. This program contributes to building healthier, more sustainable communities. NH Solar Shares has installed three PV arrays totaling 91.3 kW that produced over 88,000 kWh of clean energy in 2025. This amount of solar generated electricity is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by over 59 metric tons per year annually (based on a typical power resource mix of todays NH Electric Co-op generation)

    Expenses $310,710

  • Local Foods Plymouths mission is to strengthen our regional food system by connecting small farmers and producers to community members through an accessible, community-supported marketplace. We keep food dollars local, support independent producers, and help ensure that our community has a choice in where its food comes from. LocalFoodsPlymouth.org was created to provide farmers with a dependable year-around sales channel while reducing food miles. Today it plays a critical role in our regionss food security, supports small-scale producers, and expands equitable access to fresh local food in a rural area where these food systems are increasingly fragile.

    Expenses $111,504
