FRAMINGHAM Finance Committee members again expressed frustration with city officials for not seeking competing proposals for a solar panel project at the Christa McAuliffe Library branch.
City leaders worked with Hopkinton-based Solect Energy through the PowerOptions Program, an energy-buying consortium that operates a solar program available to municipalities, to secure a deal to install solar panels on the roof of the library.
Under the deal, the city would save more than $100,000 over the life of the 20-year contract with no upfront costs if it entered into a power purchase agreement, or save about $63,000 if the city opted to purchase the system.

The mayor and the City Council all state that they are backers of solar renewable energy for Framingham however we have yet to place our first order for a solar energy project for any municipal sites. Most of the surrounding towns have multiple solar energy projects that have been in operation now for up to 10 years. A large majority of these installations were purchased under power purchase agreements (PPA) similar to the proposal now pending before the City Council.
The Solect Energy proposal recently presented to the Council for the McAuliffe Library is also an attractive PPA. It reportedly will save Framingham $100,00 over the 20-year life of the project. The fixed electricity cost of 11 cents per kWh is approximately one half the cost of electricity for a commercial installation at this time.
