- What happened
- Granville's Environmental Sustainability Committee presented a proposal to install a ground-mounted solar array at the wastewater treatment plant. The project would cover about one-third of a vacant field and generate 110% of the plant's electricity needs, with an estimated installation cost of just over $2 million.
- Why it matters
- This project represents a significant opportunity for solar contractors. Adjacent trades, including commercial electrical, general contracting, excavation for site prep, and underground electrical/telecom, would also be needed for the installation.
- Timing
- The committee is seeking $48,000 for a feasibility study, which takes 4-5 weeks. If approved, funding identification and a bid process would follow, with construction targeted for 2027 to qualify for a 30% rebate.
