RENSSELAER â The City of Rensselaer agreed to extend its contract an additional eight years with Indiana Municipal Power Agency during a council meeting on Jan. 8.
That extends the current contract to 2050. The contact was set to expire in 2042.
IMPA operates two solar parks in Rensselaer. Prior to that, the contract also included the cityâs power plant, which was discontinued last year.
The city is currently trying to sell pieces of the plant to potential buyers.
Bryan Brackemyre, of IMPA, said his company and the city have maintained a good relationship when Rensselaer became one of the first 26 cities to first sign with IMPA in 1983.
