Re: Solar Electric (PV) system for Bolton - Clean Energy Choice

[Chinloo Lama]

Hi Kristen,

 

Thank you for following up with us on our Clean Energy Choice Funds. We have, in fact, plans in the works to utilize this fund for a solar array installation on our town's high school. One of our committee members, Martha Broad, has been working closely with the town administrator and high school facilities coordinator to get the project proposal approved by our board of selectmen and to send out an RFP  for this project. She is currently in the process of getting the request for the Clean Energy Choice Fund signed by the board of selectment so that it can be submitted. We are all set and will make sure all this is done before the end of the month. We appreciate your offer to help and have a good day.

Thanks,
Chinloo

Subject: Solar Electric (PV) system for Bolton - Clean Energy Choice

Hello Green Bolton!

As you know, the Clean Energy Choice Funds available to towns must be applied for by the end of this month.  I read that the Town invested in a solar pathfinder with funds so far - that is great!  I wondered if there were plans in place for the remaining funds. As of the end of June, the town of Bolton had about $19,000 available for PV and other related projects.

If you are interested in learning how you may be able to use the remaining program funds for a solar electric system for the town, I will be glad to provide details on how you may go about this.  Additionally, we have had several requests to offer FAQ and informational sessions for solar at committee meetings. If Green Bolton members and the larger community would be interested, we would be glad to speak.  At your convenience I can be reached by phone or by email.

Thanks very much for your time.
Kind regards,
Kristen

Just as a follow up to this communication with Kristen. Here is her
comment regarding what she mentioned in the previous email:

Previous email quote:

" Additionally, we have had several requests to offer FAQ and
informational sessions for solar at committee meetings. If Green
Bolton members and the larger community would be interested, we would
be glad to speak."

Her reply email:
"Thank you for the reply. We will hope to hear from you when the town
looks for bids for the project. Please consider my other offer as
well, and let me know if you are interested in having us speak at an
FAQ session for your members and town residents."

Perhaps we can discuss here on the google group what we think about
possibly inviting her to speak to us about PV oppurtunities for the
town. Also, please comment about whether you think this should be to
just our committee or should this be opened up to the town residents.

Thanks,
Chinloo
