Westport officials are moving closer to cutting back on their reliance on energy from fossil fuel sources.

The Representative Town Meeting Tuesday night approved about $200,000 to install a 23-kilowatt solar panel system on the roof of fire headquarters.

The town is expected to receive approximately $100,000 in grants for the project, which would cut the cost in half.

First Selectman Gordon Joseloff said one of the issues repeated to him during his campaign a year ago was to increase the town’s energy efficiency.
