Washington Gas Power Purchase Agreement for privately owned solar array on Sylvester Ray site on Clay Pit Road
(Spring 2013 Town Meeting) After evaluating the Real Goods Solar Power Purchase Agreement Proposal and the Washington Gas (originally the No Fossil Fuel) Power Purchase Agreement Proposal, the BOS has decided to move forward with the Washington Gas Agreement. The BOS presented this as an article at Town Meeting in April and the article passed. This agreement will save the Town money on energy. Given the limits of Net Metering, a municipal solar project at Wheeler Pit with a corresponding power purchase agreement with the Town will not be moving forward.
Municipal Solar Project – Wheeler Pit and Municipal Capped Landfill
(March 2013) Real Goods Solar submits a Power Purchase Agreement to the Town for the Wheeler Pit only due to restrictions on the size of an agreement that could be executed due to Net Metering and the Town’s energy consumption.
