The Peterborough Community Power Committee recommended the town issue an RFP for 100% renewable energy for FY2027 (or FY27–28) that favors local renewable supply; the board voted unanimously to issue an RFP.

Bruce Tucker, representing the Peterborough Community Power Committee, recommended that the Select Board issue a request for proposals (RFP) seeking 100% renewable energy for fiscal year 2027 or FY27–28 and encouraging the use of local renewable generation. Tucker said the committee's preference was for 100% renewable supply and that the RFP should incentivize local resources where feasible.
