FRAMINGHAM Solar panels are coming to two city schools.
Solar panels will be installed on the roof of the new Fuller Middle School and on a canopy above the eastern parking lot at the school. Panels will also be installed on a canopy over the main parking lot at Brophy Elementary School.
City leaders worked with Solect Energy through the Power Options Program, an energy-buying consortium that operates a solar program available to municipalities, to pursue both solar energy initiatives.
Solect Energy estimates the middle school project will result in more than $530,000 in savings over the 25-year contract. The Brophy Elementary School plan will generate about $380,000 in savings over the life of the 25-year power purchase agreement.
MetroWest environmental enthusiasts say Biden presidency is breath of fresh air
The Milford Daily News
Energy experts generally agree that successfully addressing climate change requires a unified effort from individuals and all levels of government.
That’s why state Senate President Karen Spilka is encouraged by President Joe Biden’s efforts to address the issues head-on in stark contrast to the Trump administration, which did not help fix the problem, she said.
“It’s very exciting to finally have a partner on the federal level,” the Ashland Democrat told the Daily News. “I do believe that climate change is the biggest threat to us and it s our responsibility to ensure that we leave a healthy viable planet for our next generation.”
