Meadowtown Town Council voted to approve Resolution 2026‑3 authorizing the town to align its power‑supply agreement with the Extended Day‑Ahead Market (EDAM), a statewide electricity market change set to take effect in May 2026. The motion carried after a brief discussion and legal review.
The vote matters because EDAM participation alters how utilities buy and schedule power and could affect the town's energy procurement practices. Council members said the town attorney reviewed the update and staff recommended signing to comply with the statewide schedule.
A council member moved, “I'll make a motion that we approve this resolution number 2026Dash3,” and another council member seconded. After the motion, the chair called a vote and read members' names; affirmative responses were recorded for Robert, Sunny, Jim, Justin and Gary. The chair said the town's lawyer had reviewed the agreement and staff had conferred with utility contacts before recommending approval.
Council members said the change was new to many jurisdictions but that delaying could jeopardize the town's ability to participate when the market launches. One council member noted the update is effective in May and emphasized the need to sign in a timely way so the town remains aligned with the market schedule.
The resolution passed and the council agreed to take the ministerial step of signing the updated agreement. No further votes or amendments on the resolution were recorded at the meeting. The council did not specify any immediate budgetary impacts or savings projections during the discussion.
