Select Board adopts Ambion as community-solar partner, board to allocate $100 campaign credit locally
Summary
The board adopted Ambion (Ambien/Ambion in transcript) as the town's community-solar partner, approving discounted credits for residents and designating the partner donation to local assistance programs to be split as discussed.
Administrator Michelle summarized two presentations from community-solar providers and said Ambion could begin immediately while SolarEdge was several months from offering credits. Michelle told the board any resident who signs up would receive a 15% reduction on their standard electricity offer and that each company would donate $100 toward a town-designated campaign. "Anybody who sign signed up in town would get 15% off of their standard offer on their electricity, and they would donate a $100 towards a town campaign of the town's choosing," Michelle said.
A member moved to adopt Ambion as the community-solar partner; the motion was seconded and passed 3–0. The board discussed directing the $100 donation to the food pantry or fuel assistance; members favored splitting or dedicating funds to local needs and asked staff to confirm distribution mechanics with the vendor.
