Community Energy Plan for the Town of Hammonton
July 2026
Community energy planning is the process by which communities collaboratively select emissions-reducing initiatives that help fulfill the goals of the state’s Energy Master Plan. The Town received a grant in 2025 for the development of the Town’s Community Energy Plan (CEP). The CEP was completed and presented to Town Council during a public meeting on July 27, 2026. Council approved the CEP by voting on a resolution of adoption. The Town’s CEP is available for download below.
Who We Are:
The Hammonton Green Committee is a group of volunteers who work to make our community more aware, resilient, and more sustainable. We take on projects and plan events that will help reduce our collective carbon footprint and educate citizens about environmental responsibility in South Jersey and beyond.
Get Involved – Make a Difference!
Everyone is welcome to get involved with the Green Committee.
Share your ideas for projects and ways we can strengthen our community and protect our resources.
Students can earn credit for community service hours too!
