Bridgewater’s Solar Power Boost | Montpelier News

Bridgewater just leveled up with a 58-kilowatt solar array that’s powering both the fire station and the community center—thanks to a local furniture maker’s vision and community hustle. Charlie Shackleton’s own 47-kW setup inspired the project, which was made possible by local generosity, tax credits, and grants, bringing the cost down to $400K. The solar energy now supports a busy daycare and could soon help town offices too. This is a shining example of how grassroots innovation, smart tech, and community spirit can build a more sustainable future—tracking results through the end of the year.
