2030Yea: Transitioning to 100% Renewables
2030Yea is a group of volunteers from Yea and surrounds dedicated to the goal of the township of Yea totally operating on renewable energy by 2030.

The vision of the group is to ensure Yea has totally renewable electricity sources by 2030. We are currently in the stage of gathering community interest and input. We hope to use this information to help us to develop locally relevant plans and projects that will help us to achieve our goal.  

We appreciate the time that you are able to contribute to our plans by completing this survey. Survey results will form the basis of the next steps for our group. Results will be available on our website and emailed to our member list after the survey closes in early March.

This survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
