SGS Goes Green with Solar Power Program

Saint George's School is helping to reduce carbon emissions in the Northwest, powering both a more sustainable world and the best educational experience in the Spokane area!

Beginning in December 2018, Saint George's is now buying about 50% of its electricity through the Avista Solar SelectTM program.  That amounts to more than 310,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which are generated by the largest solar array in Washington state near Lind using 81,700 panels covering 200 acres.  SGS is one of 60 local businesses in the Solar Select program that are filling up to half of their electric needs with renewable solar power.  Thanks to state and federal incentives, Avista does not charge an additional cost to the school to purchase electricity from the program.  See the Solar Select - Facts & FAQs document on the SGS website for more details on how the power of the sun is now powering learning at SGS.
