Green Bank cancels Sharon Center School solar project

SHARON – In a newsletter to the community Aug. 6, First Selectmen Casey T. Flanagan addressed the termination of the Sharon Center School Solar Project. Green Bank ended the project, referencing unsuitable electrical infrastructure.

The electrical service to the school is rated for 1,200-amps. An increase to 1,600-amp service would be required to utilize the solar array. When Green Bank learned of the added expense, the project was canceled.

At this time there are no realistic alternatives to pursue.

The letter ended, “The Town will keep investigating opportunities to incorporate renewable energy technology at our facilities.”
