Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative (PAREI)

Join Us in Building a Brighter, Stronger Future for Our Communities

As energy costs rise and uncertainty grows, you’re not alone—PAREI is here to help.

We’re more than an organization—we’re a community. A community of neighbors taking action right here at home to protect what matters most: our environment, our homes, and our families. Together, we’re creating visible, lasting change.

For over 22 years, PAREI has stood alongside our communities, helping people prepare for an uncertain energy and environmental future. As concerns around climate and rising costs continue, we provide practical solutions, clear guidance, and hands-on support so you can move forward with confidence. And today, this work matters more than ever. PAREI is building resilient communities across central New Hampshire by expanding access to sustainable energy and local food. Our work supports a stronger local economy, a cleaner environment, and healthier lives for everyone. Through trusted programs, personalized assistance, and community education, we empower people to take meaningful, achievable action.

• Energy initiatives that help homes and businesses reduce costs and help our environment
• NH Solar Shares — bringing solar energy savings to more low-income households
• Local Foods Plymouth — strengthening our local food system
• Farm to Community Food Share — connecting fresh food with those who need it most

With your support, we help families and businesses:

• Install solar energy to lower costs and protect our environment
• Reduce energy use at home and at work—saving money every day
• Grow, buy, and support local food to strengthen our local economy
• Share solar energy and farm‑fresh produce with low-income neighbors

Together, we’re finding practical, affordable solutions to rising energy costs—right where it matters most: in our homes, our backyards, and our communities. By taking action and supporting one another, we’re building a stronger, more sustainable future—starting right here.
