Committee delays solar revenue-sharing presentation after utility raises grid-safety concern
Summary
A scheduled presentation on revenue sharing by solar operators on public land was continued to the next meeting after a Valley Electric representative voiced concerns about power being back-fed to the grid.
The committee continued a presentation by Allison Pharr of solarunitedneighbors.org on revenue-sharing arrangements with solar project operators on public land. Robert Adams moved to continue the item to the next meeting after a Valley Electric representative raised concerns during public comment about power being back-fed to the grid; Frank Slaghuis moved, Mike Zaman seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Committee members did not take a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners at this meeting; the continuation preserves time for a fuller presentation and for staff or the utility to provide technical input on interconnection and grid-safety implications before a recommendation is drafted.
