Longer-form draft.
During the Bradford Energy Committee meeting on May 19, several topics were discussed that could directly impact residents' wallets and local land use, yet key details remain unclear. First, the committee received an update from the Community Power Coalition. While the discussion touched on utility sales and leadership changes, it notably lacked specific data regarding potential rate increases. For a community relying on these services, knowing the exact financial impact of these unresolved sales is essential for household budgeting. Second, the committee is moving forward with discussions on a new solar ordinance and the potential adoption of 'SolarAPP+', a digital tool for automated solar permitting. While this aims to speed up installations, new ordinances change local zoning and how contractors interact with town government. Residents should be prepared to review these drafts as they move toward implementation. We will continue to monitor these developments to ensure the town provides the transparent, evidence-based information residents deserve. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/energy-committee/2026-05-19/ #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH
