Epping approves electricity contract, solar exemptions and energy committee appointment
Summary
The Board of Selectmen approved an electricity sales agreement with First Point Power at $0.09995 per kWh, granted individual solar exemptions, and appointed a member to the Energy Aggregation Committee.
The Epping Board of Selectmen on March 16 approved an electricity sales agreement with First Point Power at $0.09995 per kilowatt-hour and confirmed a new member to the town’s Energy Aggregation Committee.
Town Administrator Jake Roger told the board the town previously used Neighborhood Energy, opted out of Community Power after rate increases, and is seeking to align department energy contracts. The agreement with First Point Power was reported to have been reviewed by town counsel before the board voted to approve it.
The board also approved solar exemptions for two taxpayers — Ruth Horton (map/lot 029-017) for $10,500 and Cheryl Lee (map/lot 029-156-001) for $16,500 — and appointed Dan McCombs to a three-year term on the Energy Aggregation Committee.
The board’s action places the town under a contract rate of $0.09995 per kWh; the agreement is effective upon the town administrator’s signature per the board’s authorization. The board did not discuss the exact contract length in the public record provided.
The energy items were approved by roll-call and voice motions as part of the administration and consent items for the meeting.
