Stafford County Public Schools (SCPS) and Madison Energy Infrastructure (MEI) celebrated a major step toward sustainability today with the unveiling of Virginia's largest school solar array, a 1.8-megawatt installation atop North Stafford High School that is set to provide 90% of the school's electricity while saving an estimated $2.8 million in energy costs over the next 25 years.
On September 12, officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony today to unveil Virginia's most extensive school solar array. “Today’s ribbon cutting marks an exciting step forward for our school and community. The installation of this rooftop solar array not only reduces our environmental footprint but also serves as a powerful educational tool for our students," said Stafford County Public Schools Acting Superintendent Chris R. Fulmer. "Through this project, students are learning the real-world benefits of renewable energy and how it contributes to a sustainable future."
