About

Welcome to the Energy Page for the Town of Hamilton. In 2010, Hamilton was proud to be designated as one of the first Green Communities by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER). After several years of partnering with external consultants to manage energy efficiency projects, Hamilton took the next step in 2014 by applying for and receiving a DOER grant to hire a dedicated, part-time Energy Manager. This position is shared with the Town of Wenham, another Green Community.

Today, Hamilton’s Energy Manager, Vicky Mason, plays a key role in tracking and analyzing energy usage across all municipal facilities. By continuously monitoring this data Vicky assesses the impact of past energy efficiency projects and identifies new opportunities for improvements. Additionally, she acts as a liaison between various municipal departments—including Police, Fire, Public Works, Facilities, and the Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District (HWRSD)—to facilitate energy-related projects. As a primary contact for state agencies, she coordinates energy grant programs and other state energy initiatives to support the town’s sustainability goals.
