Cohasset solar subcommittee advances microgrid RFP for schools. Chair Tanya Bodell outlined plans for a standalone microgrid incorporating solar, backup generation, and battery storage at Deerhill and Osgood schools; committee member Doran Hole recommended the RFP include battery and microgrid capability statements. Five qualified developers are on the bidder list, and procurement officer Lisa McGonigle updated RFP templates with legal counsel revisions.
