The committee endorsed the framework for a proposed local solar expansion, but the final agreement still requires legal review, negotiations, and City Council consideration. The project is intended to help meet renewable energy requirements and reduce transfer charges through a local power source. Energy Services reported improving electrical reliability, with customers experiencing fewer outages than the average utility customer, although restoration can take longer because much of the system is underground.
