Duties & Responsibilities

The Solar Planning Committee will collaborate with UMass Clean Energy Extension students and staff who will prepare a plan for solar for residents, commercial businesses, nonprofits, and town properties under the Community Planning for Solar project.

 

Committee Actions

Meeting monthly or every 2 weeks, the committee will participate in the planning process, provide community perspectives and local information to UMass, and review student draft planning documents. With committee input, the students will develop a Solar Resource & Infrastructure Assessment, a Community Solar Survey, and a Community Solar Action Plan over the fall and spring semesters of 2022 and 2023.

 

Committee members will also assist in the organizing and outreach of a community forum to present and discuss the resulting Community Solar Action Plan, if Extension staff is available for this program.
