To the Honorable City Council:

 

I respectfully request that your Honorable City Council approve this power purchase agreement (PPA) that has been negotiated with Solect Energy Development LLC.  This PPA would allow the development of a 250 kW solar photovoltaic system on the roof of the Somerville High School.  In addition to providing renewable energy for the school's operations, this agreement provides a low, fixed cost for electricity that is estimated to save over $300,000 during the course of the 20 year contract period. 

 

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
