The 1.5MW capacity solar generation operates at no cost to the Town and has produced approximately $700,000 in revenue and provided $28,000 in Payment In Lieu of Taxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2015<\/strong>: Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School Solar Canopy was installed over the school\u2019s primary parking lot. The 3,600-panel solar canopy is the first of its kind at a Massachusetts high school. The 1.2MW solar generation saves the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School over $100,000 per year in energy costs and the solar generation offsets over 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) annually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2017<\/strong>: Town of Sudbury approved a Town-Wide Electricity Aggregation Program for residents and businesses to purchase electricity from different renewable energy options. The primary goal of this program is to provide annual savings and rate stability. &nbsp;We continue to review this program every 3 years and switch energy suppliers to ensure an effective balance between renewable goals and cost to the community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2020:<\/strong> The committee reviewed the aggregation program and switched the energy supplier to NextEra Energy Services, who are considered to be the world\u2019s largest generator of renewable power.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The above are the highlights of the key projects.
