Klamath Community College has received a nearly $1 million grant for solar expansion at its Apprenticeship Center to provide supplementary and emergency power and support adjacent electric vehicle charging stations

Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) recently announced recipients of its Community Renewable Energy Program grants, awarding nearly $1 million in funding to Klamath Community College for an expanded solar array at its new KCC Apprenticeship Center.

One of 39 recipients across Oregon totaling $12 million in funds dispersed, KCC will receive $999,424 to construct an expanded rooftop photovoltaic array, battery storage system, and inverter to provide supplementary power to the Apprenticeship Center and adjacent electric vehicle charging stations on campus. This expands the number of photovoltaic panels already utilized by the facility, which had its grand opening last month after a multi-year fundraising and construction effort to complete the $11.5 million structure.
