New solar arrays at the library and water reclamation facility will cut city electricity use, and a new DC fast charger supports the city EV fleet. The utility's demand charges are expensive, and staff wants a time-of-use rate.

Impact analysis
The solar projects captured federal investment tax credits, but the EV charger's $1,440-per-kilowatt demand charge raises operating costs.
City ratepayers benefit from lower municipal energy costs and reduced emissions.
