School District Flips the Switch on Solar Power

The Hampton School District solar array, located near their football stadium, is now commissioned and operational.

Dedicated to innovation and sustainability in reducing their carbon footprint, the Hampton School District solar project was designed to offset the energy use of the campus. Projected to supply over 90% percent of the campus’ energy consumption, the system can produce over 1,240,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually. Ouachita Electric Cooperative (OECC) will provide the remaining energy needs of the District.

Hampton School District Superintendent, Doug Worley, said that “This project exemplifies partnership and investing in our community.”
