How to get involved

Public Involvement
There will be a variety of opportunities for residents to become involved in the CEP process and provide their input into the plan.

The first round of public meetings was held in late February, early March, 2007. At these meetings, the consultant team provided initial information on alternative options for electricity supply and asked for ideas and feedback from residents. We also began to solicit your general interests and concerns about electricity issues on the islands.

A second round of public meetings was held in July, 2007. These meetings included a presentation on the technical options, the public involvement program, and an exercise to rank the attributes and bundles of electricity supply and DSM otpions. 

Public events will be advertised as details are finalized. Check this website for updates on news and events related to the CEP.

There are also ongoing opportunities for public involvement beyond the public meetings. Interested individuals or groups can request meetings or participate in discussions with the consultant team in person, by telephone, by e-mail and by mail.

Input received from island residents during the development of the CEP will be documented in the final Plan. Meeting notes and other documents will be posted in the Reading Room. The Working Group and consultant team will use this input to inform recommendations and an implementation plan.

Standing Technical Committee
The consultant team has established a Standing Technical Committee comprised of island residents with an interest and background in electricity and energy.   To date, seventeen members have been confirmed.  The role of this committee is to advise the consultant team on demand reduction options, electricity supply options and implementation strategies.  The Standing Technical Committee met  in person for the first time, on April 28, 2007, in Tlell.  The Agenda and notes of that meeting are available in Reading Room.
