Renewable Energy Initiatives

What are the renewable energy initiatives that the Berwick Electric Commission is part of?

  • The community has operated a hydroelectric generating system since 1921!
  • In 2014, AREA constructed the Ellershouse Wind Farm which provides Berwick with 40% of its electricity.
  • In 2023, the Community Solar Garden was added which provides Berwick with 14% of its electricity and is fed directly into the utility, benefiting all customers fairly and equitably.
