Four partners are working with the Kerrville Public Utility Board on developing community solar power generating systems.

During their regular monthly meeting Wednesday morning, KPUB directors will consider authorizing agreements with Mo-Ranch, the Texas Lions Camp, Schreiner University and the City of Kerrville for systems to be installed on their properties . . .

 . . . The community solar effort is the result of KPUB being selected by the Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative to participate in a $5 million prize competition aimed at expanding solar electricity access . . . 

 . . . The systems will provide power to the hosting nonprofits, and to low- to moderate-income homes. It will also help reduce summertime peak demands and associated costs.
