Summary
University of Arkansas president Donald Bobbit recently signed an agreement with Entegrity Energy Partners of Little Rock to build a new 25-acre, off-campus solar panel facility, projected to cut the University’s greenhouse gas emissions by 8.8% and save millions of dollars in electricity costs.
“This is part of an ongoing campus strategy to be both fiscally and environmentally conscious with all of our projects including our combined heat and power plant, Energy Savings Performance Contracts and U.S. Green Building Council certified facilities,” said Scott Turley, associate vice chancellor of facilities.
The new facility is expected to save the University more than $200,000 in its first year alone, fulfilling a guaranteed minimum of 6.3% of the campus’s electrical requirement, resulting in reduction in greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking over 1,000 gasoline powered passenger vehicles off the road for a year.
