CPCNH: Warner community solar nearly complete; Pembroke to get quarterly checks
Summary
Coalition staff said the Warner community solar array is near mechanical completion pending a utility easement and final Eversource interconnection; when active, Pembroke's enrolled municipal accounts will receive a share based on subscribed kilowatt‑hours, estimated as 12.5% of the prevailing rate for enrolled accounts.
CPCNH told the energy committee the Warner community solar project is approaching mechanical completion and awaiting a utility pole easement and final interconnection approval from Eversource. The presenter said that once the array is connected, Pembroke — which has enrolled several municipal accounts including street lights, town hall, transfer station and the safety center — should begin to see financial benefits in the form of quarterly checks tied to subscribed kilowatt‑hours.
A coalition presenter explained the town's financial share: "What Pembroke will receive will be 12.5% of the prevailing Eversource ... rate," clarifying that the percentage is calculated against the prevailing municipal and residential rates. Committee members asked how checks are typically handled; staff said they are usually routed into the general fund unless the town elects different budgeting treatment.
