Clark County Schools to Conduct Over $100M in Energy Savings Projects
The Clark County School District in southern Nevada announced it will conduct several energy savings projects.
The projects will be completed by the Willdan Group, Inc. for the district, which is the fifth largest in the U.S.
The school district signed a $102 million contract to deliver energy-saving projects across 204 schools. The retrofits and upgrades will save the school district an estimated $170 million in lifetime energy savings and an estimated $700,000 in annual operations and maintenance costs.
This contract marks the second phase of projects that Willdan will conduct for the school district, encompassing approximately double the square footage and energy savings compared to the first phase.
Willdan engaged over 200 local subcontractors to deliver this contract and helped the school district secure over $6 million in external funding, including $3 million in federal tax benefits.
“We’re pleased to expand our work with Clark County School District, helping to reduce their energy footprint and lower their operational costs,” said Mike Bieber, Willdan’s CEO, in a statement. “Projects like these demonstrate our expertise in helping educational institutions save money and lower carbon emissions. We look forward to transferring knowledge to the local community through STEM education initiatives that benefit both students and faculty.”
