He would like to put a town <br /> committee together to define the preferred approach. <br /> • Tom 011ila discussed the two primary options: CSC with the town earning the <br /> lease payment or Reading initiated program with RMLD serving as power <br /> purchase and technical interface. <br /> • First system is operational, but not online. Future installations will be separate <br /> projects and economic benefits may reflect the changes in the SRECs. <br /> • A couple of other sites are being investigated and may be started by the end <br /> of the year. About 100 people on the waiting list for the next project. <br /> • Bob L. has a number of topics that he would like to have community input. <br /> • It is possible to start out as a Reading developed site and the shift to CSC if <br /> Reading does not wish to move forward in the site. <br /> • Potential site include: High school, Burbank Area and Train station with a mix <br /> of parking lot canopies and roof top panels. <br /> • Primary benefit of a solar power project to RMLD is to offset peak power load. <br /> • Storage pilot projects are being initiated by RMLD. <br /> • Time of use power pricing is still an option for customers to lower their <br /> electric bill. <br /> • Peak power generator will operate at the North Reading substation. <br /> Page 1 1 <br />
