Kings Park Central School District // Energy Savings Performance Contract // Energia
Total Energy Savings: 36,806,490 kWh or 36.8 MWh over the 18-year term of the project
Total Project Savings: $7,599,843 over 18-year term
Kings Park Central School District in Kings Park, NY, has been actively pursuing ambitious energy-saving initiatives for several years. Embracing Energy Savings Performance Contracting, the district collaborated with Energia on two successful projects, incorporating plug load controls, oil-gas conversions, and solar PV systems. Eager to expand their solar capabilities, the district partnered with Energia on a third ESPC. Together, they innovatively designed a solar walkway canopy at the William T. Rogers Middle School entrance, showcasing creative problem-solving. This solar canopy not only offers shelter to visitors in inclement weather but also contributes to significant annual energy savings for the district. https://lnkd.in/grrkysqt#ESCOweek#modernization#buildinginfrastructure#energyefficiency#K12#renewableenergy#solar
The idea to install renewable energy sources on infrastructure is not new and may offer large scale installation.
See here an approch, where solar panels are integrated into the road:

The solar panel industry could be seeing some big changes. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched "Solar for All," a $7 billion grant competition with the intention of making solar energy more accessible for low-income households. This bill has the potential to increase demand and reduce the overall cost of solar panel systems.
How do you think this could impact the future of solar panel manufacturing?

Let's go back to basics: today we're ta lking about design practices to consider when planning for electric vehicles and renewable energy sources: https://lnkd.in/e4Dq_z6R
The Design Commission for Wales (DCFW) have today published their new guidance for the design of large-scale onshore wind and solar installations in Wales. A link is provided below.
The previous DCFW Designing Wind Farms in Wales 2014 guidance is replaced and expanded upon by the new Designing for Renewable Energy in Wales guidance. The new guidance addresses Future Wales: the National Plan 2040 and reflects the increasing scale of the renewable industry in Wales.
The main changes include:
- Importance of creative landscape design leading the design process;
- Movement from a mitigation approach to design-led;
- Careful consideration of the arrangement of turbines or solar arrays in the landscape; and
- Consideration of environmental, aesthetic and cultural factors as well as technical and engineering design constraints.
