A new solar array, set to be installed at West Haven High School in 2020, is projected to save the city more than $1 million in electrical costs over the next 25 years. The agreement, negotiated by TitanGen, a division of Titan Energy, will allow the city to purchase the electricity the school produces at the negotiated per-kilowatt-hour fixed rate of 5.9 cents, well below its current rate of 11 cents.
In addition to the future array, West Haven High School is being constructed with high-efficiency boilers, LED lighting, an insulated envelope, energy-efficient windows, water-saving fixtures, and high-efficiency heating, ventilating and air-conditioning equipment.
