Milton explores EV chargers, energy storage, and solar PPAs for municipal sites
Summary
Committee reviewed written plans to partner with Power Options for EV chargers at Town Hall and the Council on Aging, a feasibility study application for energy storage via the AMP program, and active solicitation of solar PPA proposals for municipal buildings.
Members reviewed several near-term projects intended to increase municipal electrification and resilience. The written update presented at the Jan. 15 meeting says Milton is partnering with Power Options’ Community Charge Program to install EV charging stations at Town Hall and the Council on Aging at favorable rates to expand public charging capacity.
The Committee also noted an application is being prepared for a feasibility study of energy storage at Town Hall to be financed through the Advancing Massachusetts Power (AMP) Program. Separately, staff are soliciting proposals for solar power purchase agreements for Milton Fire Headquarters, the Central Library, and potentially additional municipal buildings to increase on-site renewable generation.
Committee members framed these projects as complementary to the Municipal Decarbonization Roadmap and resilience goals. No funding awards were announced at the meeting; the items were informational and will require staff follow-up and formal procurement steps.
