Live Solar Electric Generation
Pacific Power's Blue Sky Renewable Energy program has allowed participating customers to make a difference by supporting renewable energy in the Western region. Blue Sky customers have also helped support the development of dozens of new community-based renewable energy projects across Oregon, including other Portland Public Schools solar arrays. To learn more about how Blue Sky is furthering the growth of renewable energy and providing educational opportunities in local communities, please visit pacificpower.net/blueskyfunds.
Energy Trust of Oregon is a nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way Oregonians use and generate energy by promoting energy efficiency and clean renewable energy. Through its support of Solar 4R Schools, Energy Trust supports Oregon's clean energy future.
Bonneville Environmental Foundation provided educational materials and project management services for this project through its Solar 4R Schools program. BEF, a non-profit organization, was established in 1998 to restore watershed ecosystems and further the development and use of renewable energy resources. Through revenues generated from the sales of green power products, BEF funds and manages projects that restore damaged watersheds and support new renewable energy.
Through strong partnerships, local communities are having a position of influence on global issues.
St. Mary's School would like to thank The Energy Trust of Oregon and Pacific Power's Blue Sky program for funding this project and Bonneville Environmental Foundation for providing project management and educational materials. By choosing non-polluting, renewable energy and protecting important natural resources, we are making a difference in the health of our community and environment, now and for generations to come. It is our hope that this project will inspire students to pursue careers and make decisions that make our world a better place.
