THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Jacksonville Electric, working with an engineer, is exploring sites for a battery storage facility and now views town-owned property across from the Whitingham sewer plant as a good option. If the Selectboard has no objections, the next step would be 10% design and then a joint presentation to both boards for approval. This is early-stage planning for a utility-scale battery project where design, equipment, and construction partners have not yet been selected.
Earlier walk of area around Transfer Station did not yield a good site; alternative town property now favored.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
