I am proud to be part of the Kane County Board’s Energy and Environment Committee along with Mavis Bates who initiated and guided the plan for a solar field behind the Kane County Judicial Center in St Charles.
It is expected the County will save approximately $200,000 per year, or more than $4 million over the 25-year life expectancy.
The solar field is projected to produce more than 3.5 million kWh annually and a total of 78 million kWh throughout the contract’s duration. To put it in perspective, the average household consumes approximately 10,000 kWh per year. That means this initiative will generate enough energy to power 350 homes each year. Part of Kane County’s forward-looking vision and our commitment to sustainability for a more environmentally friendly future.
