Description
2.2.2023 Portsmouth Energy Advisory Committee
A
A
Kevin
charette
here,
tom
rooney,
here
ben
d'ant,
antonio
president
and
lisa
allison
tanner
here.
A
Excuse
me,
we
do
have
some
past
minutes.
Has
everybody
had
a
chance
to
read
those.
B
To
do
it
separately,
let's
do
them
separately.
I
make
a
motion
that
we
approve
the
minutes
of.
B
A
A
A
A
A
A
Business
demand
and
get
more
competitive
rates
and
get
more
renewables,
the
eap
that
we
have.
A
A
A
C
C
C
By
councilor
tabor
and
are
we
going
to
have,
I
guess
the
presentation
will
be
live
here.
Great.
C
So
I
think
that
was
a
really
excellent,
summary
and
and
sort
of
introduction
and
overview.
C
The
collective
residents
and
businesses
and
portsmouth
is
positioned
along
with
a
number
of.
C
So
yeah
we
can
start
moving
through
some
of
the
content
here.
C
So
we'll
talk
about
what
is
community
power,
we'll
talk
about
the
electric
aggregation
plan.
C
C
C
C
C
C
And
the
final
piece
is
the
the
the
benefits
that
can
accrue
and
that
could
be
anything
from.
C
C
C
C
C
Foreign
discussed
some
of
these,
but
just
to
reiterate
briefly,
the
benefits
really.
C
C
C
Moment
on
why
these
programs
can
deliver
lower
rates,
so
the
utility
is
really
it's
encumbered
by.
C
C
C
Can
take
advantage
of
and
other
entities
like
the
new
hampshire
electric
co-op
are
a.
C
C
C
Right,
that's
a
good
point,
so
some
of
that
material
could
be
updated,
but
yeah
we're
in
a.
C
C
C
The
power
that
remains
unchanged
and
this
plan,
if
approved
by
city
council,
will
authorize
but
not.
C
C
C
It
and
then
again,
participation
is
voluntary.
Any
individual
customer
can
choose
at
any
point.
C
C
C
It
defines
the
governance,
and
you
know,
gives
city
council
the
authority
to
to
have.
C
C
C
C
C
This
slide
just
shows
the
outline
of
the
chapters.
It's
there's
a
lot
of
really.
C
C
Sort
of
context
on
background
on
legislative
stuff
and
some
of
the
the
details
of.
C
Rates,
no
taxpayer
funds
and
the
the
city
having
the
overall
governance
authority
and
being
able
to.
C
Execute
contracts
for
services
I
just
would
add
to
all
of
this-
is
in
the
energy
aggregation
plan.
A
A
C
C
This
is
all
standard
and
required
by
law,
but
if
and
when
the
city
of
portsmouth
gets
to
jumps.
C
C
C
C
An
email
to
this
account
or
this
address
and
you
can
opt
out.
This
notice-
will
go
to
all
electric.
C
C
C
C
I
mentioned
previously
any
customer
could
choose
a
50
or
100
green
product
if
they
wanted
to.
C
Okay,
so
the
coalition
this
is
the
community
governed
new
non-profit.
C
Power
supplier
that
was
created
very
recently
just
october
1st
2021.
It
was
incorporated.
C
And
it's
it's
for
communities
by
communities.
It
was
created
by
an
initial
14
new
hampshire.
C
C
C
Customers,
significant
volume
of
electricity,
and
that
translates
to
approximately
140.
C
Million
dollars
in
annual
revenue,
so
this
just
is
to
represent
the
buying
power
of
these.
C
Sweet
from
rye,
who
is
on
the
board
and
these
community
leaders,
they
are
overseeing
the.
C
To
hire
service
providers
and
when
power
begins
to
flow
in
these
initial
communities,.
C
This
slide
just
illustrates
those
collective
community
leaders
that
are
sitting
on
the
board.
C
We
have
former
representatives
and
senators
and
regulators,
former
utility.
C
C
C
C
Entity
services,
but
that's
there's,
there's
data
exchange
and
data
management
required
with.
C
And
to
bill
customers
through
the
utility
company
clean
energy,
new
hampshire
is.
C
C
C
C
C
So
that
is
likely
to
come
to
resolution,
potentially
in
march,
which
is
exciting.
C
C
C
This
is
illustrative
the
blue
portion
of
that
bar
chart.
That's
the
the
dollars.
C
C
C
C
C
Over
time,
moreover,
that
those
reserve
funds
can
be
used
to
leverage
investment
into
local
projects.
C
C
C
C
Offering
that
plan
to
city
council
for
approval
and
what
city
council's
job
is
to
approve.
C
C
Power-
and
you
know
bill
of
customers
and
meter
electricity
and
all
the
things
that
eversource.
C
E
Henry
yes,
so
just
just
a
quick
question:
you
were
talking.
E
E
C
C
C
So
timeline
this
committee
has
has
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
the
past
year.
C
And
developing
this
draft
plan,
this
is,
as
we
discussed,
the
first
of
two
public
hearings.
C
The
the
city
council
would
have
the
authorization
to
implement
the
program.
C
A
Okay,
I
actually
have
a
question
so
right
now
I
get
my
power
from
a
third-party
supplier
is.
C
C
C
Utilities
under
the
rules
and
the
law
share
lists
of
all
customer
accounts.
Mailing
addresses.
A
A
Any
other
questions
brandon
peter
yes,
so
I'm
I'm
net
metering
right
now,
which
means
that
the.
E
E
C
And
community
power
programs-
let's
let's
just
say
there-
are
there-
are
we're
working
through.
C
C
C
If
there
is
any
possibility
of
enrolling
that
metering
customers
in
an
unfavorable.
A
Okay
and
now
we'll
go
to
the
survey
data
and
allison
tyler
tanner
of
our
committee
is
going
to.
A
Present
the
results
of
this,
we
did
the
survey
because
we
wanted
to
know
what
you
as
residents.
A
Those
into
the
energy
aggregation
plan
allison
yeah,
so
this
is
just
going
to
be
a
brief
overview.
B
E
Headings
there,
oh
okay
above
the
graphs,
okay,
sure
so
the
top
one.
Okay,
that's.
B
B
So
it
was
sort
of
evenly
split,
but
between
the
the
first
reason
and
no
actually
the.
B
Some
said
I
tried
to
switch
but
could
not
find
a
supplier
with
better
rates.
There
were
some.
B
People
that
just
checked
other
and
some
of
the
things
that
fell
under
that
category
were
laziness.
B
B
Was
36
percent
the
others
were
50
renewable
energy
and
then
100
renewable
energy.
That
may.
B
Priority
for
you
with
each
of
these
questions,
and
so
this
is
just
done
in
bar
charts
and
what
we.
B
B
B
A
Out
that,
if
it's
possible
that
we
can
get
more
green
energy
at
the
same
eversource
default
price.
A
She
wanted
to
comment
two
things
one
you
you
mentioned,
20
percent
were.
D
And
and
having
a
return
of
400
or
so
we
will
get
to
400.
because
it
is
a
pretty-
is
a
pretty.
D
D
That
with
us,
you
know
over
the
past
few
months
and
I
think
it's
been,
it's
been
very
helpful.
A
All
right,
let's
now
hear
from
residents
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
to
for
or
against.
E
Included
this
isn't
a
vehicle
to
increase
and
improve
the
plan.
We
have
so
don't
feel
if
you.
F
O'brien
396
miller,
ave,
portsmouth,
new
hampshire,
full
transparency
used
to
be
on
this
committee
and.
F
F
About
what
happens
if
you
do
have
a
third
party
supplier,
and
how
does
that
work?
Can
you.
F
F
E
It
costs
more
than
the
other
options.
The
there
there's
actually
a
very
encouraging
trend.
E
Already
three
cents
cheaper
than
the
default
rate
is
so
it's
like
it's
not
it's
not
a
brainer.
E
E
E
B
C
It
it
could
be
really
any
anything
that
can
allow
customers
to
intelligently
shift
their.
C
C
C
Might
be
a
bill
that
addresses
this,
but
it's
a
good
example
of
the
kinds
of
things
where,
if.
D
D
D
To
influence
so
I
think,
that's
you
know,
that's
a
that's
a
real
benefit
as
well.
Yep
agreed.
C
C
C
And
this
is
possible
under
the
law
and
regulation
for
these
programs.
Thank
you.
A
E
E
Of
electric
batteries
for
transportation,
for
example,
also,
since
I'm
on
the
officer
win.
E
Commission,
five
to
six
years
from
now,
we'll
have
offshore
wind
off
the
coast
of
maine,
and
I.
C
C
C
D
C
A
C
C
Controlled
by
the
communities
and
what
that
means
is
rather
than
having
to
lock
into
like.
C
C
C
Are
just
doing
one
24
month
or
36
month,
contract
through
a
broker,
you
know
it
it's,
it
can
be.
A
All
in
favor
and
just
a
reminder,
we
have
a
second
hearing,
the
9th
of
february
and
currently.
