As more school districts look to stretch their budgets and improve sustainability, community solar is proving to be a powerful option that requires no up-front investment or equipment installation. In total, the school districts will realize more than $100K in annual energy savings over the life of the agreement.

October 8, 2024 - Three New York State school districts have chosen to enroll in the Nexamp community solar program to both reduce annual costs and support the expansion of renewable energy on the grid. As more school districts look to stretch their budgets and improve sustainability, community solar is proving to be a powerful option that requires no up-front investment or equipment installation. In total, the school districts will realize more than $100K in annual energy savings over the life of the agreement.

The three New York school districts that most recently signed long-term agreements with Nexamp are the Greenville Central School District, Ballston Spa Central School District, and Auburn Enlarged City School District. Each district will be a subscriber on a different project in their area, with an allocation sized to meet the district's current specific needs.
"We understand how challenging it is right now for school districts all across the country to make every dollar go further," notes Cameron Johnston, Director of Energy Sales, Nexamp. "Expenses are rising, while at the same time there is increasing pressure to operate more sustainably and be better stewards of the environment. Community solar meets all those needs, making savings more easily accessible for individuals and businesses as well as forward-looking school districts."

• Ballston Spa Central School District
Subscribed to a portion of the 5.5 MW solar farm in Ballston Spa, NY
• Auburn Enlarged City School District

By subscribing to portions of these farms, each school district is also helping to ensure that community solar is available for families in the district by supporting these and future projects.
