The board heard information for an agreement on a solar panel project at Whittier Middle School.
The project would install a solar panel system on the school’s room that would generate 69.2% of the meter’s energy.
Justin Milner, NPS associate superintendent and chief operating officer, and Tony Capucille, founder of the solar power capital partner Brightwell, presented the board with the agreement.
According to Capucille, the project consists of 598 panels that would produce 543,714 kWh and provide an annual carbon offset of more than 848 thousand lbs.
Whittier Middle School would provide no money in capital investment while reaping an estimated benefit of $1.92 million if the service agreement is bought out at a fair market value after seven years, per Capucille.
In April 2024, Brightwell installed a solar panel system at Norman North High School, which, according to Capucille, has reduced long-term operational expenses for NPS.
Upon agreement, Capucille said installation should occur late summer 2025 after engineering and permitting occur.
