For town planners, select boards and assessors

A resilience asset for the town, paid for by someone else.

GridLynQ builds battery hubs at marinas, boat yards and campgrounds so vehicles and vessels can send power back to the grid. The same hub can carry a shelter, a lift station or a harbor operations building through an outage. This page lays out what the town gets, what we commit to in writing, and why a multi-year property tax incentive usually pays for itself.

The avoided-cost case

Start with what the town would otherwise have to pay for.

The fair way to value a resilience hub is to ask what the same protection costs when the town buys it directly. Every line below is something a municipality already budgets for, borrows for, or absorbs when the power goes out.

Emergency generators

Backup power for a shelter, warming center or emergency operations center.

A town buys the generator, pays for the pad and transfer switch, then carries fuel, testing and service contracts for its whole life. A hub block already sitting on the waterfront can carry that load instead.

Critical facility ride-through

Keeping lift stations, water treatment, harbor operations and communications up.

Each site is usually backed up on its own, or not at all. A hub with contracted emergency dispatch covers several of them from one asset.

Local business losses

Revenue that leaves town during an outage.

Marinas, restaurants and lodging lose sales by the hour and the town loses the meals, lodging and sales tax attached to them. Hours of coverage translate directly into retained local revenue.

Deferred grid upgrades

Distribution work the utility would otherwise build and bill.

Load growth on a summer peak pushes feeder and substation upgrades that show up later in everyone's rates. Storage that shaves that peak can push the upgrade out or shrink it.

How we put numbers on it

We do not bring you our figures and ask you to accept them. We build the analysis from the town's own inputs: your generator quotes and fuel contracts, your outage history, your assessor's valuation practice and your utility's posted rates. The result is a ten-year table your finance director can check line by line, not a marketing number.

The community benefit agreement

Enforceable commitments, not promises.

An incentive should buy the town something specific. These are the terms we are prepared to sign, and every one of them is written so the town can enforce it.

Emergency power for town facilities

A named list of municipal buildings gets priority backup during a declared emergency, at no cost to the town. The list is written into the agreement, not left to good intentions.

Public shelter and charging capacity

Reserved capacity for a designated shelter, plus a public charging tier residents can use during an event so people can keep phones and medical equipment running.

Local hiring and training

Construction and ongoing service work is bid locally first, with apprenticeship slots on the install so the skills stay in town.

Public annual report

One report each year to the select board or council: hours dispatched, emergency support delivered, jobs supported and payments made. Plain numbers, publicly filed.

Clawback if we miss

If the commitments are not met, the incentive reverses and the abated amount becomes due. The town keeps the leverage for the entire term.

No municipal capital, no municipal risk

GridLynQ funds, builds, insures, operates and decommissions the asset. The town does not own equipment, sign a lease or take on operating cost.

The fiscal picture

Why the tax roll ends up ahead.

A tax incentive is easiest to approve when the arithmetic is shown plainly. It runs in three phases.

  1. 1

    Today

    The value does not exist yet

    The parcel is assessed as it stands. There is no hub, so there is no incremental tax revenue for the town to give up.

  2. 2

    Years 1 to N

    Abated period

    The improvement is assessed and a negotiated share is abated for the agreed term. The town collects permit fees, equipment sales tax where it applies, and the base assessment it already had — and starts receiving resilience service from day one.

  3. 3

    Year N+1 onward

    Full roll-on

    The abatement steps off and the full improved assessment lands on the tax roll for the remaining twenty-plus year asset life. Host property occupancy and assessed value typically rise as well.

The resilience service starts in year one. The revenue arrives later but keeps coming for the rest of the asset life. That gap is the entire trade, and it is why the deal works for a town willing to think past a single budget cycle.

What residents get

Lead the electric boating revolution — and pay the town a dividend for it.

Resilience is the reason the hub gets built. The reason residents back it is what changes on the water: a quieter harbor, cleaner air and water at the town's front door, and a waterfront positioned for the boats people are already buying. None of it costs the town capital, and all of it compounds.

First harbor on the electric boating wave

Every major builder now ships an electric or hybrid model, and the boats need shore power that can charge fast without melting a 1970s dock feeder. A town that has the hub already in the water becomes the port those owners plan their season around — and the one the next generation of boaters keeps coming back to.

A quieter waterfront for the people who live on it

Electric propulsion removes the idling, the throttle noise on the no-wake run and the generator drone at the slip. Residents on the harbor and families on the town beach get their evenings back, and the pressure on noise complaints and enforcement drops with it.

Cleaner water and cleaner air at the town's front door

No fuel spills at the pump, no sheen off two-stroke exhaust, no diesel plume over the launch ramp on a July Saturday. Shellfish beds, swimming areas and the town's own air quality all sit downstream of what happens at the dock.

Waterfront property and business values that follow

Harbors known for clean, quiet, modern facilities hold slip demand and waterfront value through cycles. That shows up in the grand list for every abutter, not just the host site — a dividend paid to residents who never set foot on the dock.

Dividends that reach residents directly

Lease payments and tax revenue land in the general fund, a public charging tier is priced for residents, and slip and launch fees stay stable because the town is not funding an electrical rebuild out of its own capital plan.

A story the town can lead with

Grant reviewers, state resilience programs and private berthing partners all look for towns that moved first. Being early makes the next round of funding and the next partner materially easier to land.

The investment case, in one line for the warrant article.

The town contributes a tax position on privately funded equipment. In return it gets contracted emergency power for its critical buildings, a modernized waterfront ready for electric vessels, measurably quieter and cleaner harbor operations, and a growing line on the grand list that outlives the abatement. The dividend is paid in avoided cost, in revenue, and in the quality of the harbor residents actually use.

Questions residents ask

What this costs, what it sounds like, what it does to the water.

The answers a neighbor wants before a town meeting vote — written to be read aloud at the microphone, not buried in an appendix.

What does this cost the town — and me, as a taxpayer?
Nothing in capital, nothing in debt, nothing in operating cost. The hub is privately funded, privately built, privately owned and privately maintained. The only thing the town contributes is a tax position: a share of the property tax on the new equipment is abated for a set number of years, after which the full assessment is taxed. Because the equipment did not exist on the roll before, the town is not giving up revenue it already collects — it is phasing in revenue it never had, in exchange for services it would otherwise have to buy.
Will my property taxes go up to pay for it?
No. There is no appropriation, no borrowing and no override attached to the host agreement. The article authorizes a lease and a tax agreement, not a spending item. Over time the added value on the grand list works the other way: more taxable value spread across the same services tends to relieve pressure on the residential rate rather than add to it.
Is it loud? What will it sound like from my house?
A battery hub has no engine and no exhaust. The only moving parts are cooling fans and inverters, and the enclosures are specified to meet the town's own noise bylaw at the property line — typically in the range of ordinary background noise a short distance away, and quieter than the diesel generators it replaces, which run at full throttle for hours during exactly the events people notice. The net effect on the waterfront is less noise, not more: electric boats remove idling at the slip, throttle noise on the no-wake run and generator drone overnight.
What about the water — spills, runoff, or something going into the harbor?
There is no fuel on site, so there is nothing to spill, no sheen off the ramp and no fuel-handling risk at the dock. Enclosures are sealed and sited above flood elevation with containment and stormwater controls reviewed in the normal permitting process. Every gallon of gasoline or diesel displaced by electric propulsion and shore power is a gallon that is no longer being pumped, stored, or spilled next to shellfish beds and swimming areas.
Is a battery installation safe near homes and boats?
The systems are built to current fire-safety standards for stationary storage, with cell-level monitoring, thermal management, automatic isolation and physical spacing between units. Before anything is energized the local fire department reviews the plan, receives an emergency response procedure specific to the site, and gets training on it. Siting, setbacks and access are settled in public permitting, not after the fact.
What happens in an outage — does my neighborhood actually see anything?
Yes, and it is written into the agreement rather than promised verbally. A named list of critical facilities — typically the shelter, the emergency operations center, water and wastewater pumping, and harbor operations — is carried by the hub at no charge to the town. Residents get reserved shelter capacity during declared events and a public charging tier priced for the town, not for tourists.
Who is accountable if the company does not deliver?
The commitments are contract terms with a clawback: if emergency power, resident access, local hiring or reporting obligations are missed, the abated tax becomes immediately due and the agreement can be terminated. The operator also files one public annual report to the select board covering dispatch hours, emergency support delivered, jobs and payments — read in open session, so residents can check the record against the promise.
What if the company sells, or walks away in ten years?
The host agreement binds successors and assigns, so the obligations travel with the asset rather than with the owner. Decommissioning and site restoration are secured up front — a bond or equivalent financial assurance sized to remove the equipment and return the site — so the town is never left holding a stranded installation or a cleanup bill.
Why should the town go first instead of waiting to see how it goes elsewhere?
The scarce input is grid capacity and a suitable waterfront site, and both get allocated to the towns that move. Being early also carries weight with grant reviewers, state resilience programs and private berthing partners, which makes the next round of funding and the next partner materially easier to land. Waiting does not lower the risk — it hands the position to the next harbor over.

Holding us to it

Measurable public benefit, defined before anything is signed.

An incentive should be tied to something a town can count. These are the metrics we put in the benefit agreement, how each one is measured, and the target the hub is held to. Every definition below is written so a third party can verify it from meter and utility records rather than from our word.

No hub is operating yet, so there are no published results to show. These targets are the measurement standard we are willing to be held to once a site is energized.

Dispatch hours

Hours in the year the hub discharged to serve load or the grid, summed across the site.

How it is measured
Metered at the point of interconnection by the utility revenue meter; hub SCADA logs are reconciled against it monthly.
Annual target
≥ 600 hours per block per year

Facilities supported

Named town-designated facilities (shelters, water and wastewater, public safety, harbor operations) electrically able to be carried by the hub under the benefit agreement.

How it is measured
Counted from the executed facility list; each is proved once a year in a scheduled islanding test witnessed by town staff.
Annual target
100% of the agreed facility list proven annually

Outage-hours covered

Facility-hours of grid outage during which the hub actually carried the facility — one facility carried for four hours is four outage-hours covered.

How it is measured
Derived from utility outage records intersected with hub discharge logs; both timestamps are published in the report appendix.
Annual target
≥ 95% of eligible outage-hours during declared events

Public charging delivered

kWh dispensed at the public-access charging positions the benefit agreement requires the site to keep open.

How it is measured
Charger session records, exported quarterly and rolled into the annual filing.
Annual target
Positions available ≥ 97% of hours

Avoided municipal cost

Fuel, rental generation and spoilage the town did not incur because facilities stayed energized, priced at the rates in the avoided-cost schedule.

How it is measured
Outage-hours covered multiplied by the per-facility avoided-cost rate agreed at signing and reviewed every three years.
Annual target
Reported annually, no floor — it varies with weather

Availability

Share of the year the hub was capable of dispatching at rated power, excluding scheduled maintenance windows disclosed in advance.

How it is measured
State-of-health and fault logs, audited against the maintenance calendar.
Annual target
≥ 97% availability

The annual performance report the town receives.

Same format every year, so year three can be laid next to year one without reinterpretation. Six sections, filed within 90 days of the close of the reporting year and published where residents can read it.

  1. 1

    Performance summary

    One page: each metric above with the year's actual, the agreed target, prior-year actual and a met / missed flag. This is the page the select board reads.

  2. 2

    Event log

    Every grid outage and declared emergency in the reporting year — start and end timestamps, facilities carried, hours delivered, and any facility the hub could not carry with the reason why.

  3. 3

    Community benefit compliance

    Line-by-line status of each commitment in the benefit agreement: emergency priority, public charging uptime, local hiring and apprenticeship hours, and community meeting attendance.

  4. 4

    Fiscal statement

    Assessed value on the roll, tax abated, tax and fees collected, and cumulative town benefit to date against the ten-year model filed at approval — same line items, so the assessor can compare directly.

  5. 5

    Methodology and raw data appendix

    Meter data, outage records and calculation method for every figure, so a third party can reproduce the numbers without asking us for anything.

  6. 6

    Filing and remedy

    Delivered to the town within 90 days of year end and posted publicly. Two consecutive years missing a target triggers a written cure plan; a third year lets the town reduce the incentive on the schedule written into the agreement.

We will draft the metric schedule against your own facility list and outage history before you take it to the board, so the targets are argued once and then simply reported on.

Getting it approved

Four vehicles towns commonly use.

Which one fits depends on your state's enabling statute and your own practice. Your town counsel makes that call; we will prepare the packet for whichever route you choose.

PILOT agreement

A negotiated payment in lieu of taxes that fixes a predictable annual figure for both sides, usually escalating over the term.

State storage exemption

Many states already exempt energy storage or renewable equipment from real property assessment. Confirm this first — the incentive may largely exist in statute already.

Community benefit agreement

The commitments above, attached as a condition of site plan approval so they are enforceable through the permit, not only through the tax deal.

TIF or resilience district

Where a town wants the incremental value directed at a specific waterfront or resilience program rather than the general fund.

Evidence checklist for each vehicle.

What the proposal has to show, who produces it, and which body signs off. Work down the column for the route your counsel picks — a CBA runs alongside whichever tax vehicle you choose.

Glossary

Plain-language definitions.

Written for a board packet, not an engineering review. Every term used in the fiscal model, the benefit agreement and the permitting checklist appears here.

V2G (vehicle-to-grid)
A vehicle or vessel battery that can send power back out, not just take it in. Parked fleets become dispatchable capacity when the grid or a local facility needs it.
Hub block
One prefabricated battery block with its own inverters and controls. Hubs are built in whole blocks, so capacity grows in steps rather than continuously.
Avoided cost
Money the town does not have to spend because the hub exists — a generator not purchased, fuel not bought, a shelter that stays open. It is a budget line the town keeps, not a payment it receives.
Outage-hours covered
Facility hours the hub actually carried during a real outage. Two buildings kept up for three hours is six outage-hours covered.
Dispatch hours
Hours the hub discharged on command in a year, for grid services or for a facility. It is the working measure of whether the asset is used or idle.
SAIDI / SAIFI
Standard reliability measures your utility already files: how many minutes the average customer is out per year (SAIDI) and how many times (SAIFI). They set the outage baseline for the model.
PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes)
A negotiated fixed payment that replaces the normal property tax bill for a set number of years. It gives the town a predictable number and the project a predictable cost.
Tax abatement
A temporary reduction of property tax on the new value only. The town keeps collecting on the land and existing improvements throughout.
TIF (tax increment financing)
A district where the new tax revenue created by a project pays for infrastructure inside that district for a fixed term, then flows to the general fund.
CBA (community benefit agreement)
A binding contract listing what the project owes the community — emergency priority, public charging, local hiring — with remedies if a commitment is missed.
Interconnection
The utility's approval and physical connection allowing the hub to export power. It is a separate process from local permitting and usually the long pole in the schedule.
Energy arbitrage
Charging when power is cheap and discharging when it is expensive. It is the largest revenue line for the hub and does not depend on the town.
Islanding
Running a facility or microgrid on the hub alone while the utility grid is down, safely disconnected so line crews are not endangered.
Assessed value
The value the assessor places on the hub for tax purposes, typically a ratio of the equipment's depreciated cost. It is what an abatement or PILOT is applied against.

Questions we get from planning boards

Straight answers.

Is the town giving up revenue it collects today?
No. The abatement applies only to new assessed value created by the hub. Without the project that value does not exist, so the base tax roll is unchanged either way.
What does the town have to do?
Approve the site plan and the incentive vehicle, and name the facilities it wants covered during emergencies. There is no municipal capital, procurement or staffing requirement.
Who is liable if something goes wrong?
GridLynQ. The company owns, insures and operates the asset for its full life and carries decommissioning obligations, all documented before the agreement is signed.
How long is a typical term?
Incentive terms are usually negotiated across the early years of the asset life, sized so the town's fiscal analysis shows the deal turning net positive before the term ends. The exact structure depends on your state's enabling statute and your assessor's practice.
What happens after an emergency?
The hub reports what it delivered — which facilities were carried, for how many hours — and that goes into the annual public report. The town has a documented record for its own hazard mitigation planning and grant applications.
