Surry selectmen hear Clean Energy NH presentation as community power meeting draws about 23 residents
Summary
On Oct. 6, 2024, Surry selectmen heard a Clean Energy NH presentation on energy-efficiency projects, audits and funding options after a community power meeting attended by roughly 23 residents; a follow-up public hearing will be scheduled before selectmen act.
Selectmen in the Town of Surry on Oct. 6 heard a presentation from Frank Richter of Clean Energy NH following a community power meeting that drew about 23 residents.
Frank Richter outlined energy-efficiency projects and audits offered by his organization and emphasized identifying grants and tax credits that residents or town projects could qualify for. The community power meeting, held from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m., focused on local options for purchasing and managing electricity supply.
Why it matters: town-level choices about community power or local energy programs can affect residents’ electricity rates, local procurement decisions and eligibility for state or federal incentives. Selectmen said they will await a follow-up public hearing before taking formal action.
Selectman Ron Profaizer was recorded as the person who will contact Terry Clark to set the date for the next public hearing; Selectman Jay Croteau also participated and later replied to a separate solar-panel inquiry recorded in the minutes. The minutes do not record a formal vote on community power at this meeting.
Next steps: the Selectmen must formally agree to proceed and provide minutes from the selectmen’s meeting after the next public hearing. No decisions or funding commitments were recorded in the Oct. 6 minutes.
