Decatur To Kick Off Clean Energy Initiative With Community Events

DECATUR — The City of Decatur announced Tuesday the launch of Clean Energy Decatur, a new initiative to develop the city’s plan for a clean energy future, according to a news release.

The city will kick off a series of outreach and education events from 6 - 7:30 p.m. Thursday to discuss the development of the plan. There will be four virtual events to introduce the Clean Energy Decatur development process, set goals, and gather community input.

City officials said they are committed to protecting its community against the negative impacts of climate change and reducing its contributions to the climate crisis. The Plan will guide those efforts, according to the release.

All community members and interested parties are invited to participate in a series of roundtables and engagement opportunities in the coming months. A series of Decatur 202s, recorded educational sessions led by subject matter experts on clean energy in Decatur and metro-Atlanta, will be released this fall and winter to provide a better understanding of the Decatur energy landscape and inform the topics discussed in roundtables.
