The Town of Wiscasset invites residents to participate in two events designed to deepen community engagement in local energy planning and resilience. These events are part of Wiscasset’s ongoing collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Technology Innovation Partnership (ETIPP).

Strategic Energy Plan Workshop #2: Tuesday, Aug. 25 from 3 to 5 p.m., Scout Hall, 7 Lincoln St.

Residents are encouraged to join the second community workshop focused on developing Wiscasset’s Strategic Energy Plan. This session builds on the first workshop and introduces proposed vision elements, focus areas, and potential projects for community feedback.

 Light refreshments will be provided. All residents are welcome. Registration is appreciated but not required. To register: https://forms.gle/P99v3eGSmxDVWWNRA

Meeting ID: 893 2211 1138

Saturday, Aug. 29 from 12 to 4 p.m, Scout Hall, 7 Lincoln St.

Wiscasset will also host DECIDE, an interactive, four‑hour “serious game” developed by Sandia National Laboratories. Participants work together to make decisions about a town’s energy future, exploring tradeoffs, resilience strategies, and real‑world planning challenges.

 Learn about energy options available to communities like Wiscasset. Discover pathways to resilience and reliability. Work with neighbors to tackle realistic energy challenges. Gain confidence to participate in future community energy discussions. Help improve a planning tool that may be used across Maine.

 Free meal, snacks, and drinks. Fun, engaging gameplay based on real municipal decision‑making. No experience required—just bring your ideas. Open to adults 18 and over.
