Solar Workshop-Presentation and public dialogue(main boardroom)
a. Introduction and Purpose of Workshop
Chair Talbot explained that the purpose of the meeting is to engage with the public regarding
solar generation.
Is. Presentation
1.Solar Economies and Impacts
Mr. Underhill discussed solar economics, including fitting solar to the load profile, distribution
options, the cost per watt and federal, state, and RMLD Incentives. Solar impacts, including
weather, capacity and transmission peaks, phantom load. and system efficiency were
reviewed,as well as the effects of shade, panel location and panel orientation.
Solar goals and objectives.
Z.System Examples
Mr.Underhill explained the components of a solar system.
S.RMLD Sola Goals and Objectives
Mr. Underhill discussed providing ratepayers with opportunities, meeting legislative objectives,
developing sustainable rates,and minimizing adverse consequences.
C. Current WILD and other Soto Programs
RMLD's current offerings were reviewed,including Solar Choice.
CL Public Dialogue and Q&A Period
Mr. Dockser of Reading asked how to move forward with deternvning solar potential for
municipalities. Mr. Underhill explained that town buildings would be examined to determine
suitable rooftops for solar installation. RMLD could assist with behind-the-meter generation by
developing a lease structure, If the towns express interest, RMLD would put together a proposal.
The larger the scale and the more communities that participate, the more likely RMLD is to find
suitable sites. Mr. Dockser asked how communities would communicate their interest. Chair
Talbot stated the Select Board could let the RMLD Board know. Ms. Alvarado of Reading
clarified that there are no current solar installations on municipal buildings in any of the four
communities. Char Talbot affirmed. Ms. Alvarado asked what an ideal solar installation would
look like and the number of kilowatt hours that RMLD would like to see coming from municipal
installments. Mr. Underhill explained on optimal site would be a two-story building with a flat roof
and no surrounding trees. Ms. O'Brien asked it the MLP Incentive was based on location. Mr.
Underhill explained that the incentive is paid based on the size of the project. The location
determines whether the project passes a minimum requirement threshold. Mr. Coram added
that if the installation is done in a shaded area, while you would get the rebate for the
installation, the payback time would be longer than seven years because of less power
generation. Mr. Underhill affirmed. Mr. Sawyer of Wilmington asked far clarification on what is
considered a municipal property and whether a project could be done on a leased property.
Mr. Underhill replied that B could if the landlord was amenable. Mr. Soni asked about the fifteen
percent limit on each feeder.Mr. Underhill explained that was established by the Department of
Energy as a conservative estimate as to how much solar a distribution system can handle. Mr.
Joffori explained that a per-site system impact study is performed to determine how much
current the system con handle before it is negatively impacted.
Ms. Conyers from Reading asked what the first step is. Mr. Underhill explained residents can
contact installers if they are planning on buying the solar system. Then. residents should go on
the Energy New England website and begin the application process for the system rebate. The
system site will then be evaluated far feasibility. Mr. Covey of North Reading stated that he has
solar on his home and he has been in the solar industry fa about a decade. Mr. Covey clarified
that RMLD does not have net metering and instead hos live bi-directional metering and stated
that he hopes RMLD transitions to the former. Mr. Covey stated that the payback period would
be eleven years according to his calculations. Mr. Underhill explained that the six-and-o-holf-
year period he referenced includes RMLD's buybock energy rate, which is the market energy
offset price at four cents a kilowatt hour. Mr. Underhill stated that net metering-some in and
some out- is not sustainable. Mr. Underhill stated that RMLD doesn't make a profit but needs to
maintain its electric system. Chair Talbot asked for future clarification about how RMLD stands
with other municipals and its solar.Mr.Underhill stated that he can pull that intonation and that
he knows other municipals don't offer an installation incentive.

d. Public Dialogue and OLA Period
Mr.Stempeck added that RMLD has rates that are much lower than National Grid or Eversource.
Mr.Grier of North Reading asked where RMLD is at with storage. Chair Talbot mentioned RMLD's
grant for a grid battery. Mr. Underhil stated that there are no economically functional batteries
at this point.Mr.Underhill mentioned the Tesla Wall and Mr.Stempeck stated that he had looked
into it a few years ago and was given a quote of$37,000 for the battery packs. A citizen )rsame
undecipherable) stated that, per hu cell search, a power wall costs$7.800 per watt and it stores
4 kilowatts and you install two a three. That price includes installation. Mr. Underhill asked how
many hours of storage that provides.The citizen was unsure and asked if the rebate applies to a
power wag. Mr. Underhill explained its only for the solar system. Mr. Hkade stated that he works
fa Revision Energy in Nath Andover and stated that one Power Wall U thirteen and a half
kilowatt hours of usable storage.The average household uses between 21 and 27 kilowatt hours
per day.The Power Wall has five kilowatts of continuous output for 2.7 hours.
Mr. Rogers of Reading presented slides that he had prepared for the meeting (unsolicited). The
slides addressed residential solar adoption rates and homeowner savings. Mr. Rogers stated the
average adoption rate off solar for Massachusetts residents Is 5.6 percent;fa municipab it is 1.1
percent. RMLD's adoption rate is 0.4 percent. Mr. Rogers stated that RMLD should embrace
solar.
Mr. Sawyer of Wilmington stated that he is a tax preparer and that most of his clients who have
solar tease it due to the high purchase price. Mr. Sawyer stated that he believes RMLD has such
low solar penetration because customers only have the option to buy. Mr. Underhill explained
that RMLD has a Solar Choice option for people who don't have large upfront resources
avaiksble. A citizen from North Reading asked about maintenance of the sola panels. Mr.
Underhill explained that it the panels are behind the meter, they are the customer's
responsibility. Mr. MacKenzie of Reading asked if rooftop solar can power a furnace or o
refrigerator if the power goes out. Mr. MacKenzie stated that he had looked into it years ago
and there was no reasonably priced equipment to disconnect the house from the grid. Mr.
Underhill stated that a solar system will not stay on in the event of an outage due to safety ... Mr.
Kikade stated that the Tesla energy gateway will isolate from the grid and allow the solar array
to power your battery. It works the some way a generator relay works so it isclotes the grid to
prevent backfeeding. Mr. Underhill stated that's applicable with the introduction of a battery
system: that's more than just a solar system. AN. Conlon from Dracut stated he is a solar installer
and an electrician. Mr.Conlon stated that the most important piece of maintenance far solar is
keeping trees cut bock to prevent shade and deter squirrels. Mr. Conlon stated that there are
systems that will function when the power goes down.There's a type of inverter that allows 2,000
watts when the sun is shining. Mr. Kracke from Reading asked for an explanation what the issues
are with phantom loads. Mr.Underhill stated that the system needs to be sized according to how
much electric is needed:solar behind the meter is invisible.
Chair Talbot thanked the crowd for their attendance and participation.

General Manager's Report-Ms.O'Brien
a. Report on allmdame al the NEPPA Legislative Rally M Washington DC,ham February 2e
to February 2B,2019
Ms. O'Brien thanked the Board for allowing her to attend and asked Mr. Underhill to report. Mr.
Underhill explained that it was an opportunity to meet with Representatives and Senators from
Massachusetts and convey issues of concern.The voters in their districts are owners of the system
and want to be sure the value of their interests is protected. Mr.Underhill stated that the issue he
was most responsible for was discussing the wholesale market. ISO New England runs a very
complex market and it is also a very volatile market. Prices fluctuate from year-to-year, and
every time there has been a capacity auction over the las} thirteen years, there has been o
different set Of rules.ISO is taking the position that it is necessary because buyers are figuring out
how to take Otivontoge of the system. Mr. Underhill remarked that the NYSE and Chicago
Mercantile Exchange seem to function well in the exchange of stocks and commodities. The
volatility in pricing and the Instability of the process makes 8 very difficult for capltolyntensive
businesses to plan their future.The capacity Markel hos experienced a 500 percent swing over a
10-year period. The reason far that is ISO isn't able to monoge the planning process anymore
because the market structure is put out to bid.Their job isn't to maintain a stable cost structure:
it's to make sure electricity is available. ISO is regulated by FERC. Mr. Underhill indicated that he
would have FERC review the market structure and come up with a better approach that is more
transparent and removes the volatility.Ms.O'Brien stated that they are seeking the formation of
a blue-ribbon committee to apply pressure; there isn't one entity that's responsible: it's a
complex concept with many legislative branches that represent Stakeholders. At NEPPA a panel
of experts in the field explained the changes that have occurred from the late 198DS through the
Present and how the capacity market has gotten to where it Is.Ms.O'Brien stated she has asked
NEPPA to have the some presenters at the annual NEPPA conference, so that the Board can
understand the history.
Mr. Underhill stated that 5G on poles was also discussed.The FCC has given a 90-day window for
review and approval of SG requests.That's going to be difficult because infrastructure has to be
MPIOced Ms. O'Brien added that the ruling that states the requests must be quickly addressed
doesn't consider logistics and safety. Mr. Talbot asked if there had been any inquiries from
carriers. Ms. O'Brien replied In the negative, Mr. Talbot stated that RMLD can design forms old
set technical specifications. Mr. Stempeck asked about charging for installation. Mr. Talbot
replied that RMLD can charge a fee and recover costs.
b. Report on Select Board Meeting Updates
Ms. O'Brien stated that she has been meeting with the Town Administrators, Town Managers,
Ind Select Boards.On Monday she met with the Lynnfield Town Manager and presented of the
Board of Selectmen meeting. Lynnfield asked for help with solar projects,requested commercial
auditing far their water pump efficiency, and Green Communities was discussed. Green
Communities is o Massachusetts C011oborative that Eversource and National Grid have for
customer rebates. Lynnfield's Town Manager came from a town that had Green Communities.
He wants RMLD to be part of it, but RMLD isn't paying into the program. Ms. O'Brien stated that
the RMLD Is looking into any potential collaborative efforts. The Director of Green Communities
lives in Lynnfield. Ms. O'Brien added that the Board of Selectmen commented on the nice and
neat jobs done by RMLD employees.
Mr. O'Rourke asked about potential marketing opportunities for solar. Ms. O'Brien replied that
RMLD just ran community information sessions for homeowners that included the benefits of
going solar. Ms. O'Brien stated that Mr. Underhill is working on community solar projects. Ms.
O'Brien stated she will be meeting with the Reading Town Manager and presenting on the
basics of electricity and highlight each Of RMLD's divisions at the Reading Select Board in May.
Mr. Talbot asked about Green Communities. Ms. O'Brien Stated that RMLD has been speaking
with the Executive Director of the program and looking at ways to coordinate and access
resources and at potential joint ventures.

integral Resources Division-Mr.Underhill
a. Power Supply Report-January 2019
Mr. Underhlll reported that things are going well and discussed the differential between budget
to actual for total purchase power expenses for the month of January. Actual is down because
January was warmer than average. Sales and load were down. Mr. Underhill then discussed
budgeted energy costs versus actual. Energy is most reflective of where the loads are. Price is
relatively fined under RMLD's power supply agreements. Regarding transmission costs, Mr.
Underhill explained that if peaks are down RMLD doesn't pay as much. Capacity costs don't
change because they are set in the summer and are paid as a flat monthly rate. Mr. Underhill
then reviewed kWh purchased by resource.The market has the potential to be the most volatile.
In January the loads were less than the energy in the portfolio. RMLD was a net seller into the
market.
b. First Light Power Resources
Mr. Underhill explained that RMLD has the opportunity to buy an additional three percent of its
load from a hydro resource that is dispatchable.There are two plants in Connecticut that deliver
to the Massachusetts hub and have storage capability. RMLD will be getting REQS with it. It will
be about $51 a megawatt hour. Around-the-clock energy prices are between $45 and $50 a
megawatt hour and are between $48 and $50 a megawatt hour during peak times, so this is
close to the marginal energy price for a hydro-electric resource.This will improve the non-corbon
aspects of RMLD's portfolio on the AK31 report. This is a ten-year deal and will start on April 1 if
approved.
Mr. Pacino made a motion, seconded by Mr. Talbot, that the RMLD Board of Commissioners
authorize the General Manager of the Reading Municipal Light Department to finalize
negotiations and execute a contract with First Light Power Resources for the output of the
Shepaug and Stevenson Hydroelectric facilities, on the recommendation of the General
Manager.
Motion Carted:5:0:0.
There was discussion on the meaning of"dispatchable"and Green Communities.
c. Energy New England
Mr. Pacino made a motion, seconded by Mr. Talbot, that the Board of Commissioners approve
the Executive Session minutes of September 20, 2018, October 18, 2018 and February 13, 2019,
on the recommendation of the General Manager.
Motion Cabled:5:0:0.
Chair Hennessy noted that Ms.Herrick had arrived.
Financial Report-December 2018-Ms.Makil
Ms.Markiewicz reminded the board that RMLD just closed a 6-month transition period to switch
to a calendar year. Ms. Markiewicz explained that can make the financials misleading. When
you try and divide a 12-month budget cycle into six months: timing matters. Ms. Markiewicz
stated this is a draft and that the auditors will present the final financials.The actuarial report is
holding things up,and,therefore, OPEB and pension may change.Ms.Markiewicz reviewed the
cash balances. The operating fund is $18 million. The combined depreciation fund and
construction fund are at $10 million in preparation for upcoming capital projects for 2019. Sick-
leave cash has come down to $2.9 million. The pension trust is at $5.8 million. Ms. Markiewicz
mentioned customer deposits, hazardous waste, uncollectible accounts, and the deferred
energy conservation project reserve.The rate stabilization fund is$7 million. Ms. Markiewicz then
reviewed the year-to-date operating and maintenance expenses and explained due to timing
RMLD appears under budget for the six months ending December 31 by $800,000. There are
many components to that,including vacancies and the timing of projects. Ms.Markiewicz then
discussed how RMLD continually reinvests in capital infrastructure.RMLD is taking its rate of return
and adding more. Except for 2015, RMLD has gone beyond the depreciation fund every year
between FY14 and FY18 to update the capital infrastructure.W.Markiewicz stated that January
and February were warmer than anticipated. Mr. O'Rourke asked far a sense of the revenue
after the first quarter.Ms.Markiewicz replied that it's too early to determine since it's currently
Page 13
Financial Repod-December 2018-Ms.MoldeM=
March, but January and February had a 3.5 percent loss of kWh sales. This was due to the
weather. Ms. Markiewicz added that It is going to be difficult to compare year-to-year this year
due to the change to o calendar year. The auditors won't do comparative financials. Ms.
O'Brien stated that the weather is significant and suggested that Mr. Underhill look at the
reduction, per class, in use. Mr. Kelley stated that he tracks Wilmington's utility costs and trends
weather.It shows that weather drives savings.
Ms.Herrick noted that the capital plan varies year-to-year and asked what Ms.Markiewicz thinks
the number for FYI will be. Ms. Markiewicz stated that FY 19 is over as of December 31 due to
the transition to the calendar yeor and the number shown is for six months. Ms. Henick asked if
the capitol will be significantly higher for the Twelve-month period. Ms. Markiewicz replied that it
will be about$9.3 million. Ms. Herrick asked how often the cash rote stabilization fund is dipped
into. Ms. Markiewicz replied that it has not been utilized in the eight years that she has been
working at RMLD. Mr.Pocinc added in his 33 years on the Board it has been used seven or eight
times.Mrs.Markiewicz pointed out that if RMLD were to suffer a catastrophic event,such as the
loss of a substation, it could cost $7 or 8 million to recover. RMLD wouldn't want to burden
customers with that cost:in that case the stabilization fund would be needed. Ms. Herrick asked
referred to the Municipal Statement of Revenues and stated that legal fees were significantly
more. Ms. Markiewicz stated that is due to legal issues with FERC. MsO'Brien exlaid Tho}
FERC implements changes and the fortybne municipals in Massachu . explained
aggregate counsel to
represent their interests. Most often, the case is settled, and money is received back. Mr.
Underhill explained that the large increase was due to unanticipated FERC litigation. The
municipals were trying to keep Mystic 8 and 9 up and running. It resulted in a $250,000 legal
expense, however, the affirmation of the running of the plant will save RMLD $2 million a year
beginning in 2023. Ms. Herrick asked if "fuel revenue" is the some as the "fuel charge" item on
her bill. Mr.Underhill and Ms.Markiewicz affirmed.
Engineering and Opmations Report-Mr.Jalfad
Mr. Jaffari reviewed major construction projects that are underway or recently completed,
including 4WS/4W I2 getaway improvements of Station 4. 3WI3 repairs due to a motor vehicle
accident.5W5 Andover access road upgrade, the Station 3 battery storage project,and Station
4 getoway replacements.Mr.Joffari then discussed area upgrade projects,including and
Station

Lynnfield has 30 poles awaiting transfer, Reading has 30 Transfers and 78 pull poles, North
Reading has 3 transfers and 20 pull poles, and Wilmington has 2rs trod 18ers and 1 pull pole.
Reliability Indices are below notional and regional averages. Causes of outages are well below
the 5-year average,but it is only reflecting two months info the year. Incidents s of motor vehicle
accidents have been high.The February 25 windstorm as a cause of outages was mentioned.
RMLD Procurement Requests Requiring Board Approval-Mr.JORad
IFB 2019-09 One(1)Class V Fork Tmck with 12,01)0 1.Load Capacity with Trade-In
Mr.Jaffari explained that the invitation to bili was sent to eight vendors;there were two bidders
and the lowest took exception. RMLD wanted a limited fork truck and the vendor offered a full.
This would impede movement inside the storage area. The bid was therefore awarded to the
next lowest and most responsible bidder. Mr. O'Rourke asked how many total bids were
received. Mr. Jaffad replied: two. Mr. O'Rourke remarked that he would have expected more
respondents.
Mr. Pacino made a motion,seconded by Mr.Stempeck,that bid 2019-09 fa One (1) Class V Fork
Truck with 12.000 Ib. Load Capacity be awarded to Northland Industrial Truck Company, Inc.,as

upgrades. Mr. O'Rourke asked if it was passible to do a longer-term blanket order. Mr. Jalfori
explained RMLD did that with the smart grid switches,but the price of metal is volatile.Mr.Ja0ari
stated he doesn't know of anyone who has done that, but it might be possible to have the
delivery staggered.
