Call to Order: Chairman Russell opened the meeting at 7:00 PM  \nPresent: John Russell (Chair), Chris Bandazian (Vice Chair), Andrew Gillis, Bill Foote (School Board Alternate), Sue Thomas (Town Council Liaison), Bing Lu,  \nAbsent: Tom Elwood, Bart Fromuth, John Schneller (School Board Liaison), Lori Radke (Town Council Alternate)  \nII. Quorum Count (5)  \nIII. Approval of Minutes –January 27, 2022  \nChairman Russell stated that he had one minor adjustment that he gave to Dawn and that adjustment has been made.  \nMOTION by Mr. Foote that they approve the January 27th, 2022 minutes as amended. Seconded by Mr. Bandazian. Vote taken 5-0-1 (Thomas abstained).  \nIV. Guest Presentation : Community Power Coalition NH (CPCNH) Presentation  \nChairman Russell introduced Phillip Stephenson. Mr. Stephenson clarified that he wasn’t technically with CPCNH; he’s more of a CPCNH ally. Lori Radke had invited him to come, because he presented to Hollis. He’s a member of the Hollis Energy Committee and spearheading their move to try and get Hollis to join CPCNH or do community power in one form or another. He does work with Henry Herndon who is with CPCNH; they weren’t able to make it. Ms. Thomas stated that when the Energy Commission was talking about bringing this to the Council, Lori had mentioned that a group had done a presentation in Hollis, and she would have them present to the Energy Commission, because if they want to present to the Council, they need a presentation.  \nMr. Stephenson stated that his background was working with renewable energy – project development working for a solar firm. More recently he’s been working as an energy consultant. Some of the savings have come from their town through the National Regional Planning Council with six other towns and several other school districts who collectively buy their power through an energy broker. He stated that Community Power would do the same thing, but for the town’s residents. Instead of the aggregator being the regional council, the aggregator would be Community Power Coalition NH.  \nMr. Lu referred to the chart on the screen and wanted to know why the savings flattened out over the years. Mr. Stephenson explained that initially the savings was much greater, but it flattened every year except 2020 when the pandemic hit. Eversource lowered their prices, so for a couple of months the town was paying a little bit more. Mr. Stephenson stated that you’re not going to save 50%; it’s always a little bit less than that. The bigger aspect was that cost doesn’t have to be the only priority. The other priorities that they have: resilience, environmental, etc., can be taken into account in the energy supply that they choose.  \nWhat is Community Power?  \n- It’s taking the parts of electrical delivery and services that are not a natural monopoly. The only part that is truly a natural monopoly is the poles, wires, and associated equipment.  \n- There is nothing that says that one entity needs to be the only one that chooses where the power gets generated and what kind of power. There is nothing that says only one entity can decide what kind of efficiency programs or other activities are provided through the same channels.  \n- The intent is to take back those elements out of the hands of the entities that have it, which is a limited, competitive market and put it either in the hands of an individual town who can use a broker and make their own decisions or many municipalities or government agencies and pool it together to make their own choices.  \n- You would still call the same emergency number, they are still responsible for keeping your lights on. This is much more happening at a financial level in terms of the affect.  \nChairman Russell stated that he was worried about the nature of the harshnes","cbCaiirgtNS5yl7J","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiirgtNS5yl7J","pdf",838346,10,"English","# Call to Order\n# Present and Absent Members\n# Quorum Count\n# Approval of Minutes\n## Motion and Vote\n# Guest Presentation\n## Community Power Coalition NH Presentation\n## What is Community Power?\n# Commission Discussion and Questions","[{\"question\":\"What meeting actions were taken regarding the January 27, 2022 minutes?\",\"answer\":\"The Commission made one minor adjustment to the minutes and then approved the January 27, 2022 minutes as amended.
