Wayland Energy Committee advances COA solar and EV charger rollout
WAYLAND -- February 4, 2025, Wayland's Energy and Climate Committee greenlights COA rooftop solar and 10 EV charging ports. Sustainability Manager Abigail Schuett told the committee Tuesday that the town has agreed on a power purchase agreement rate with Solect Energy for rooftop solar at the new Council on Aging community center, after abandoning a planned solar canopy that Co-Chair Ellen Tohn said could not deliver "a PPA rate that was at all appealing." Five dual-port Level 2 ChargePoint stations arrive this week, with installation starting Feb. 10. A cracked Loker School boiler was replaced with two condensing units expected to save about $12,000 annually. The new sustainability coordinator post, advertised Jan. 23, has drawn about 20 applicants. The committee voted 4-0 to approve Jan. 7 minutes.
