HCPSS MPIA Request #2018-443

Requested Information
Last school year, WLMS solar panels generated 364,290 KWh of electricity more that it used. Since Jan 2018 the school solar panels have generated 115,673 KWh more than was used. That is a total 426,463 total in the time it has been opened. BGE.com states that a going rate per KWh for a business is $.065 per KWh. Even at that extremely low rate, that is a savings of $27,720.10 attributed to the solar panels at WLMS. Where did the savings go? Upon what is the money being spent?
