Board hears community solar pitch tied to wastewater accounts; no action taken
Summary
A presenter described a subscription model for community solar credits tied to water/wastewater accounts and said the plan requires no municipal upfront cost; the board asked the village attorney to review the subscription agreement and asked that the proposal return in two weeks.
A presenter asked the board to consider subscribing village water and wastewater accounts to community solar so customers could receive a credit on their bills. The presenter described the model as subscription‑based, saying the developer and anchor tenants front project costs and subscribers receive a share of renewable energy credits; he said the plan would carry “no cost” or investment for the village.
Trustees asked about contract length, opt‑out conditions and whether participation would affect existing aggregation deals. The presenter said subscriptions typically last the life of the solar field but that after five years a participant could opt out if a better option appears. The board directed staff to send the proposed subscription and disclosure to the village attorney for review and agreed to consider the item again in two weeks. The presenter said he would resend the disclosure and pricing materials to the clerk.
