Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

 

I respectfully request that your Honorable Board accept a donation of $12,500 from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources to the Office of Sustainability & Environment for technical assistance in net metering agreements, under the provisions of MGL Chapter 44, Section 53A.  If found feasible, a net metering agreement would allow the City to both offset current electricity costs and support the development of renewable energy in our region.

 

My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank your for your consideration of this item.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
