Trustee Len Simon told Croton’s Sustainability Committee on November 9, 2025, that Westchester Power would discontinue its Community Choice Aggregation electricity program for participating municipalities when its contract ended on November 30. He attributed the decision to increased state outreach and education requirements that the program said exceeded its abilities. This article is written solely from the meeting's official minutes; croton.news had no reporter present. The committee also reviewed a November 3 proposal for a roughly 5-megawatt battery energy storage system occupying half the dirt plot behind the Municipal Place facility. The offer was $172,000 in annual rent plus a 2% escalator, with an approximately 600-foot underground power line connecting to a Con Edison feeder beneath Maple Street. Members suggested village-staff review and seeking offers from other developers for the site; the minutes do not record a lease approval. A different possible site on Hessian Hills Road was considered unsuitable because the nearest distribution line had less than 300 kilowatts of hosting capacity. The minutes also described an earlier discussion of reserving half of potential battery-lease revenue for future projects, while seeking a location other than Pumphouse Road. The DPW solar-canopy project faced another bid process after the September winning contractor was dismissed on October 10 for failing to supply required paperwork. The minutes reported that the delay had cost about $9,000 of an approximately $48,000 NY-SUN incentive. The goal was to secure a capable replacement bidder quickly enough to preserve the remaining roughly $39,000. The contract with Plug-In Stations Online for 18 train-station EV charging ports was expected later that month, with completion targeted for spring. Mayor Brian Pugh reported that two more vehicles had joined the renewable-diesel pilot, which was scheduled to finish in January. The minutes reported problem-free operation and a wholesale renewable-diesel price roughly 6% below standard diesel at that time. Chair Lindsay Audin described administrative difficulties and contractor pricing during his own heat-pump water-heater replacement. He concluded that promotion would be more effective in new homes or alongside major heating and cooling upgrades. That was Audin’s assessment, not a recorded committee vote. Pugh said the discount program was being revised to address administrative barriers, and Jon Katz agreed to summarize building-code changes at the next meeting. Food-scrap recycling expansion was waiting on replacement of a damaged shed delivered in October. A bracketed clarification in the minutes says an acceptable replacement arrived shortly after the meeting. The minutes explicitly distinguish such later additions from the meeting account; another bracketed note supplies later analysis of the state order affecting electricity aggregation. Train-station solar-canopy commissioning remained expected before year’s end, while firehouse heat-pump projects awaited other building work. The committee scheduled its next Zoom meeting for December 7, 2025, at 10 a.m., followed by a winter break and a January 18 meeting.
