Clerk reports Lyndonville Electric will transition firehouse solar from free billing to minimal charge with credit
Summary
Town Clerk Patti McClure told the Select Board a Lyndonville Electric letter says the fire department's solar panels no longer qualify for previous free-billing treatment; the town will receive solar credit but will be charged a minimal fee going forward.
Town Clerk/Treasurer Patti McClure reported correspondence from Lyndonville Electric indicating the end of a previous arrangement that had resulted in no electric bills for the town firehouse solar installation. Going forward, the town will receive solar credit but will be assessed a minimal charge.
McClure described the change as part of the utility's rules tied to the 10-year length of the prior reduced-cost arrangement for the fire department's solar panels. The board recorded the correspondence; no vote or further action was taken at the meeting.
The minutes do not specify the new charge amount or how the solar credit will be calculated; the town clerk advised members of the letter and the board accepted the correspondence into the record.
