MVC suggests âmore flexibleâ language for energy policy
Meeting 100 percent renewable energy, both on or off-site, may be impossible for certain applicants.
Ben Robinson goes over the draft DRI energy policy with fellow Marthaâs Vineyard Commissioners.
The Marthaâs Vineyard Commission (MVC) is continuing its review of the draft development of regional impact (DRI) energy policy, which seeks to mitigate the effects of climate change by minimizing fossil fuel use and maximizing resiliency through local energy production.
The commissionâs energy policy is nonbinding, but it gives applicants a better idea of what the commission would like to see in a project. Commissioners can then use the energy policy to weigh the benefits and detriments of a project.
