RSU 12 board hears update that 20‑year solar power purchase agreement locks 7¢/kWh rate
Summary
Board members were told the district’s solar power purchase agreement is finalized and that the district will pay a fixed 7 cents per kilowatt-hour for 20 years for a solar field being built in Brooks. The update was informational; the transcript records no contested debate.
The RSU 12 school board received an update that a solar power purchase agreement (PPA) the district negotiated is finalized and will provide a fixed electricity rate for the life of the contract.
A board speaker reported the district will pay 7 cents per kilowatt‑hour for the next 20 years under the PPA for a solar field sited in Brooks. The speaker said district attorneys worked to hold the company to the original terms and described the agreement as among the better PPA terms in the state. No technical contract terms beyond the price and term were read into the record, and no vote was recorded at the meeting on the PPA; the item was an informational update.
Board members had no substantive questions recorded in the transcript, and the board moved on to other agenda business.
