ORLEANS — An Orleans energy committee heard town solar interconnection will slip into 2027. The assistant town manager said DPW rooftop panels should start construction in mid-November, with Revision Energy expecting interconnection in the first half of 2027. The water treatment facility signed its agreement Thursday; the wastewater plant's application is pending.
A Finance Committee liaison put phase 4 sewer connection at about $145,000 per house, versus a $30,000 placeholder for alternatives. The committee unanimously approved its September 10 minutes as edited, and about $50,000 remains of the $100,000 climate action appropriation.
