Chaffey Joint Unified High School District Awards PsomasFMG Solar Energy Project
Huntington Beach, California (PRWEB) February 20, 2014 -- Chaffey Joint Unified High School District’s Board of Trustees voted unanimously to award PsomasFMG, LLC a contract to design, finance, build and operate a 7.2 MW solar system across eight of their high school sites.
The School District signed a Power Purchase Agreement with PsomasFMG that calls for no capital expenditure from the District. The solar project will provide just under 50 percent of the total electricity consumed by the high schools and will save the District millions of dollars over the length of the agreement.
In addition to the significant savings for the District, PsomasFMG will bring the science and technology of solar into the classrooms by providing mentoring and internships to benefit the students as they choose and prepare for future careers.
“This cutting-edge partnership serves immediate and long-term needs – saving energy, saving money and creating educational opportunities for our students,” said Mathew Holton, Chaffey District Superintendent.
“We are very excited to be working with such a forward thinking District,” said PsomasFMG President Paul Mikos. “The savings generated from this solar project can go directly back into classrooms, where it is needed most. The School Board and District staff did their homework before going forward with the project. They have shown excellent vision in championing this project.”
