About our Panel

We are joined by three experts from PACE, People’s Action for Clean Energy. Working with towns and individuals to improve energy efficiency, conservation, and clean renewable energy across Connecticut, PACE provides outreach and education on clean energy issues at public events, legislative hearings and environmental forums. 

Mark Scully has long been interested in clean energy, energy efficiency and recycling. He has served as President of PACE since 2016 and recently introduced its Clean Energy Action Center. A native of Simsbury, Mark is active in his local Sustainability Committee. He sits on the Advisory Committee of the CT Coalition for Climate Action and speaks regularly on solar and other clean energy issues. 

Bernard Pelletier serves as a Vice President for PACE. He also volunteers at the state level recently joining Connecticut’s Energy Efficiency Board as the Residential Representative. Prior to that he co-chaired the Building Working Group of the Governor’s Council on Climate Change. His focus is on building energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption. Additionally, he is a member of the Connecticut Energy Network’s Steering.

Andy Bauer has been a driving force behind Connecticut’s clean energy transformation for over two decades.  His early advocacy began with the successful campaign to retire Connecticut’s “Sooty Six” power plants, and he’s since championed solar adoption, energy efficiency, and public education across the region. As a founder of the Portland Clean Energy Task Force, Andy helped make Portland a leader in the Clean Energy Communities Program.  He has helped mobilize hundreds of residents to support clean energy, including championing a successful Solarize Portland campaign.
