Park District Leading in Technology Practices

The Solar Energy Project began in 2018 with a focus on sustainability.  West Chicago Park District partnered with Trane Technologies. Trane Technologies works with building owners and operators to create exceptional energy efficient buildings – and maximum return on investment.

The District is becoming a leader in Green Energy and minimizing its carbon footprint The project utilizes idle land and will in turn reduce the cost of utilities.  Solar panels are currently being installed on the West side of ZONE250 inside Reed-Keppler Park.  The 862 kW Grid-Interactive Photovoltiak system will produce 1,150,000 kWh annually helping to offset costs of 84% of energy used by the ARC Center and Zone 250 per year and will save the District approximately one million dollars over the 20 year commitment with Trane Technologies.

The project is expected to be completed by….summer 2021
