Board of Supervisors Receive Solar Power Purchasing Agreement Presentation

At the Board of Supervisors meeting on February 7, 2023, Pamela Adams, Sustainability Planner for the Centre Regional Planning Agency, gave a presentation on the Solar Power Purchase Agreement (SPPA).

The SPPA is a commitment to invest in solar energy which will offer the Township economic, environmental, and social benefits.

Ferguson Township adopted a Community and Environmental Bill of Rights in 2012 which calls for the "Right to a Sustainable Energy Future. All residents in Ferguson Township possess a right to a sustainable energy future, which includes, but is not limited to, the development, production, and use of energy from renewable and sustainable fuel sources."

The Board of Supervisors adopted a Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions Resolution on June 19, 2017. The Resolution calls for the Township to achieve net zero green house gas emissions by 2050 and taking part in the SPPA brings the Township one step closer to that goal.

The Board of Supervisors will revisit the discussion of the SPPA at an upcoming Board meeting.
