Our Purpose

to promote energy conservation, energy efficiency and the development of small scale renewable energy at the local level in the North Country of N.H. We will replicate the energy raiser model developed by PAREI, and will emphasize education and community building.

Summary of Projects

SUNREI received a grant in 2011 to purchase tools, signage & supplies and provide consultation with PAREI to support SUNREI as we begin to offer energy raisers in the North Country of New Hampshire. Energy Raisers are modeled after barn-raisers: neighbors work together on a solar water heating installation.
