Here’s how one school district in Southern Illinois was able to switch to solar power. Story from SiemensUSA
For schoolchildren in Southern Illinois, Eldorado is a quiet suburban community with a great deal to offer in the way of nature, history and education.
Eldorado Community Unit School District recently underwent an impressive solar transformation after signing a 20-year solar power purchase agreement with Calibrant Energy, a joint venture among Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Siemens Financial Services and Macquarie’s Green Investment Group. A few months after rejoining the Paris Agreement, the White House released a statement outlining plans to reduce greenhouse gas pollution by 2030, support clean energy and create jobs to power a new green economy. The most important changes needed aren’t just at the highest levels of government but in everyday communities around the country, such as within local schools.found schools could play a significant role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
“We are proud to support [school districts] with our technology, expertise and know-how on their paths in setting a benchmark for the school of the future,” said John Kovach, head of energy and performance services for Siemens Smart Infrastructure in the Americas.Reaching beyond lower energy costs and reduced emissions, the project also connects textbook lessons with real-life applications of technology.
