Closing comments
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: That concludes the agenda.
address the Town Board for any reason?
Would anybody like to come up and
JOHN BRADY: John Brady, East Marion. Has the Town Board ever considered a wind turbine
to save on electric?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes. We have in fact. We looked at it and evaluated it for the
Peconic school and other facilities. There is one small problem right now with these energy
systems. They are very costly and even with grants, the way, the benefit of having an alternative
energy system is getting the credit that that electric produces when you are not using it. It is
called net metering, solar photovoltaic cells produce the electric 24 hours a day, so whatever you
are consuming, you take off of that, the rest feeds the grid and then you get a credit from LIPA
for that electric you are producing. Under state law, net metering is restricted to only 5% of what
you consume. So if most of the electric is feeding the grid, you can only recapture 5% of what
your net use is. That makes it very cost inefficient. We are hoping the state will change that law
to make wind technology more compelling. In the meantime, for the cost of investment and the
for the likelihood of not using a lot of the electric that gets produced and not getting payment or
credit for it, we don't want to be in a position of spending a lot of money to produce free electric
March 9, 2010 Page 35
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
for LIPA, who frankly doesn't need our help. But we would like to see the state's net metering
laws changed. I know there are lobbies every day trying to get that law changed.
MR. BRADY: Isn't there any way you can hook up other buildings to it?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Unfortunately under LIPA, I just talked to Kevin Law about this not
even five weeks ago with regard to mingling our meters, if I have three buildings, let me mingle
the meters. LIPA hasn't allowed that yet. We are hoping they will revisit that and then if we can
consume the electric on a regular basis, it might make it more compelling.
MR. BRADY: Yeah, I heard that windmills were like $500,000.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Well, it depends on size. It depends on size. We can probably find
something that would meet our needs for probably the $200,000-$225,000 range. But again, the
only real benefit is if we are consuming the electric we produce. Otherwise, you know, the 5%
on our consumption isn't very much of a return on our investment.
MR. BRADY: Thank you.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: John, while you are here, my next scheduled hamlet meeting will be
in East Marion after the, I was out in Orient the last few weeks but the next one will be in East
Marion. I know you are an active member of the community association, let them know. Phil
should be in touch with your members soon to set up a time when we can schedule to have a
community meeting, hamlet meeting out in East Marion.
COUNCILMAN RULAND: Scott, you might want to comment for the audience about the
photovoltaic option we are looking at for the landfill.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: The photovoltaic? We actually have interest from private suppliers
that want to cover the solar, the cap at the landfill with photovoltaic collection. The most recent
proposal was a combination photovoltaic and methane gas production facility. They are in a
spec process now. We have allowed them to use our facility so that they can scale this economic
model to see if it will work. I haven't heard from them in some time. This is about the third
company that has expressed interest that has not gotten back to us. I think in the very near
future, we should just send out a general RFP on that and maybe some other town sites, so we
can ....
COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: I think they are having a stumbling block with permits with the
state. Once that gets done...
COUNCILMAN RULAND: There is a financial benefit for the town in this case though.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, we would actually, well, there would be a financial benefit for
a great part of the community in that we would be customers that would be offered the industrial
rate on electric consumption. So we would see a reduction in rates of electric in the community.
March 9, 2010 Page 36
Southold Town Board Meeting Minutes
The details still need to be worked out. But again, using landfills involve DEC review because
of the cap, DEC wants a complete understanding of what is going to be done there and I assume
they are ....
COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: That last company was quite impressive. I think they are doing
their feasibility study.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: They are still doing their feasibility study.
COUNCILMAN ORLANDO: To see if there is enough methane.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I also talked to Kevin Law about the subsequent possibility of Plum
Island closing. I don't think that is a reality but the general accounting administration is already
doing work to see what they can do as an in use for that site and I talked to Kevin Law to see if
LIPA would be interested in helping work with us to create an incubation site for alternative
energy. They can also use that as a site for location of a geothermal, wind, solar, tidal, I mean, it
is all there. They have the facilities there to use for educational and for investment and research.
He is interested in that but again, I think at this point, it is unlikely to see Plum Island change any
time soon or close. Anybody besides me have any more comments? (No response) Okay, can I
get a motion to close?
