According to Town Bulletin #8, "The Electric Commissioners and their Superintendent have taken a serious look at the solar possibility and have concluded the short term answer is not at this time. There are four Dams along the Squam River of which three are contracted for Hydro Power.
Also starting in 2012 a contract to purchase power at the same total usage as per 2010
will be established. These two factors are the reason for the decision, however the Electric Commissioners have agreed to revisit and entertain the solar power possibility during mid to late summer of 2013."
The reasons provided for rejecting the solar energy proposal should be substantiated with a factual analysis of the technical merits of the proposal and a comparative cost analysis. The Electric Commissioners should provide town residents residents with their detailed report as soon as possible so residents can review the their analysis.
The town, itself, may want to consider the proposal for powering town buildings and facilities.
