Wisconsin School Districts Leading on Energy Tax Credits and Elective Pay – Oregon

Undaunted K12 announced that six school districts have been awarded federal funds for clean energy projects. These projects will make schools safer, healthier, and more sustainable. This highlights the importance of investing in climate action at educational institutions. These initiatives aim to create resilient learning environments for students.

After building Wisconsin’s first energy-efficient net-zero elementary school in 2020, the Oregon School District was the first district in the state to receive an energy tax credit. The credits were earned for a recently installed rooftop solar array. The project, completed by Spectrum Full Solar, will help lower the high school’s electricity bill. In November 2024, the Oregon School District received $73,761 as a federal reimbursement for the solar array.
