Committee discusses municipal electricity procurement and vehicle electrification analysis
Summary
Committee discussed protecting the Borough from volatile Pennsylvania energy markets and exploring municipal electricity procurement options; the Borough Manager and consultant Dennis Rowan met with committee leadership. The committee also discussed EV purchases for police (deferred) and other municipal vehicles (Borough Manager to compile mileage data for cost‑of‑ownership analysis).
Dana Robinson said she met with the Borough Manager and green energy consultant Dennis Rowan to discuss the Borough’s municipal electricity procurement amid turbulence in Pennsylvania’s energy market. The committee recorded that the immediate priority is protecting the Borough from sharp price increases and that Pennsylvania Electric Procurement may be helpful.
On vehicle electrification, the committee discussed two tracks: police vehicles, where technology and timing concerns mean no new police vehicle purchases are planned this year; and other municipal vehicles, for which the Borough Manager is compiling mileage data to analyze potential total cost‑of‑ownership savings from EVs or plug‑in hybrids.
