Belleville Council is talking rooftop solar panels at its meeting this afternoon.
Council will receive a staff report about the installations on two local schools, Foxboro Public on Ashely Street and Susanna Moodie School on Avonlough Road.
Ameresco Canada had sought the endorsement for its application to the province through the city’s planning committee, but the committee is recommending city council not support it.
Councillor Paul Carr. a member of the planning committee, says he objects to supporting the province’s FIT program for solar panels when hydro prices are too high and not affordable for many people.
The planning committee agreed.
Council meets at 4:00 p.m. at Belleville City Hall.
