32 V.S.A. § 3845 — Renewable energy sources

(a) At an annual or special meeting warned for that purpose, a town may, by a majority
vote of those present and voting, exempt renewable energy sources, as defined herein,
from real and personal property taxation. Such exemption shall first be applicable
against the grand list of the year in which the vote is taken and shall continue until
voted otherwise, in the same manner, by the town.
(b) As used in this section, renewable energy shall have the same meaning as in 30 V.S.A. § 8002 for energy used on the premises for private, domestic, or agricultural purposes,
no part of which may be for sale or exchange to the public. The term shall include
grist mills, windmills, facilities for the collection of solar energy or the conversion
of organic matter to methane, net-metering systems regulated by the Public Utility
Commission under 30 V.S.A. § 8010, and all component parts thereof, but excluding land upon which the facility is located. (
