Summary

After a Homefield Energy recommendation, the council voted to accept a 24-month commercial electricity contract for the city's account and directed staff to further investigate AGE's Community Solar option that 'could save up to 15 percent.'

Rob Wielt of AGE/Homefield Energy recommended replacing the 48-month commercial contract the city signed in 2022 with a shorter term to allow more flexibility; Wielt suggested 12- or 24-month contracts. Council voted 6-0-1 to accept a 24-month contract (motion by Volkman, seconded by Goins).

Brandon Bullard described AGE's Community Solar program and said, "The City could save up to 15 percent" by using power from a solar farm within the Ameren coverage area. The Council agreed to investigate the program further and examine next steps, procurement implications and compatibility with existing accounts.
