Milton CAPC reviews municipal energy projects: solar, EV charging, High School assessment
Summary
Chair Alex Hasha summarized a written Energy Manager update covering planned March attendance by the Energy Manager, Climate Leader certification work, a zero‑emissions first vehicle policy, EV charging plans, a Milton High School building assessment, and grant applications for energy storage and heat pumps.
Chair Alex Hasha summarized a written update from Municipal Energy Manager Kai Mueller (who was not present) outlining several near‑term municipal energy priorities. Items listed for potential discussion at the March 19 meeting and Town Meeting included a solar net metering credit agreement, solar power purchase agreements (PPAs), and work toward Climate Leader certification. The update also noted a draft zero‑emissions first vehicle policy, ongoing collection of building energy data for a municipal decarbonization roadmap, and a comprehensive assessment of Milton High School (the largest municipal energy user).
The update included project‑level activity: EV charging site work at Town Hall and the Council on Aging; an energy storage feasibility grant application submitted for Town Hall and Fire Headquarters (AMP program funding possible); a Fire Headquarters rooftop solar vendor site visit with a goal of finalizing a PPA before Town Meeting in May; and a Green Communities grant application for heat‑pump installations at the Council on Aging. Members welcomed the momentum and Chair Hasha invited committee members to join his biweekly coordination meetings with Kai Mueller.
