July 2021 Announcement: Town of Weybridge Buys into Solar Power

The Weybridge Energy Committee is pleased to announce that our town's Selectboard has voted unanimously to buy into Acorn Energy Co-op's Bristol Community Solar Project. The purchase of 30 solar panels will provide enough energy to offset all the electricity used at the town office and the town garage/fire station. Acorn Energy hopes to begin construction of the Bristol solar array in the next few weeks and to begin generating energy early next year.

This purchase means that the town of Weybridge will receive green electric energy for at least the next 25 years while saving approximately 50% off its electric bill. Funds for this purchase will come from the accrued Weybridge Energy Fund. There will be no tax impact from this purchase (except for lower electric bills).
