Committee votes unanimously to add solar and renewables goals, plus actions, to climate plan
Summary
After a presentation on projected electricity demand under electrification, the committee voted unanimously to include a goal in the Climate Action and Resilience Plan to increase solar PV and other renewables alongside increased electricity demand, and to add specific actions to achieve that goal.
The committee adopted a motion to include a goal in the Climate Action and Resilience Plan to increase solar photovoltaic capacity and other renewables alongside expected increases in electricity demand. The chair (S1) read the agreed wording aloud and the committee approved the motion by roll call; the transcript records the vote as unanimous.
Discussion before the vote focused on target realism (commercial vs. residential solar), questions about which municipal rooftops and fields to include, and potential impacts on the municipal utility referenced in the record as CMLP. The committee also agreed that specific actions should be included in the plan so the goal is actionable; members asked that the plan identify who will carry out tasks and with what budget.
