📰 News we're reading

• Granby Solar Canopy Proposal Would Take 16 Years To Break Even (patch.com) — Granby officials are weighing a proposal for solar canopies over municipal and school parking lots that would initially cost more than standard electricity but could yield long-term savings. A preliminary analysis shows the town would face higher costs for eight years and only break even around year 16, with projected total savings of about $42,000 over 20 years if utility rates rise as expected.
