Fort Frances town councillors have a clearer understanding of a project to place solar panels on some municipal buildings.
Corey Watson of Solar Logix met with councillors this past week.
He says the ability to sell power-produced back at 80 cents per kilowatt hour is based on peak usage.
"During peak hours, (users) actually paying over a $1.80," says Watson. "It's actually $1.86 at prime hours of consumption. So this steady rate of 80.2 cents is actually occurring right when the prime hours of peak consumption are occurring."
Watson predicts the rate will drop to about 40 or 50 cents in the near future.
