Encore Renewable Energy CEO, Chad Farrell, was an invited panelist for a recent gathering of municipal managers, special projects personnel and local energy committees to discuss the various ways in which local communities can engage in renewable energy projects as a means of achieving electrical cost savings and addressing local climate objectives. Mr. Farrell shared his thoughts on previous municipal energy projects and provided examples of success stories, advice on how municipalities can most easily pursue the best potential structure for a project, and offered other thoughts and guidance for town leaders to consider as they embark on municipal renewable energy projects. The event, which took place on October 10, 2018, was sponsored by Efficiency Vermont, Energy Action Network, Vermont Council on Rural Development, Vermont Natural Resources Council, Vermont League of Cities and Towns, and Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission.
