Kings Park board approves $7 million energy contract to add solar, replace boilers
Summary
The Kings Park Central School District board on July 1 approved an energy performance contract with Energy Systems Group (ESG) to add solar capacity and replace two steam boilers, a project officials said is about $7 million and leverages $2.67 million in federal ITC funds.
Kings Park, N.Y. — The Kings Park Central School District Board of Education on July 1 authorized an energy performance contract with Energy Systems Group LLC (ESG) to install additional solar capacity and replace two steam boilers at district facilities.
Dr. Egan, presenting the recommendation, described the project as “about a $7,000,000 project” and said the district will leverage approximately $2,670,000 in federal investment tax credit funds. "That makes the project feasible from a financial standpoint," he said, adding that "it fully funds itself, a 100% over 18 years." The board moved, seconded and approved the contract by voice vote.
Why it matters: administrators said energy savings and solar generation will be used to fund the boiler replacements and the solar installation over an 18‑year term, reducing the district’s utility costs and capital burden in the near term. The project was procured through RFP #00012025 and follows a comprehensive energy performance audit ESG provided at no cost to the district earlier in 2025.
Details: district materials and the public reading at the meeting describe the contract as a phase‑4 districtwide energy performance project. The administration and the district engineer reviewed proposals submitted in response to the RFP on Feb. 7, 2025, and recommended ESG based on the audit and evaluations. The resolution authorizes the board president to execute documents necessary to implement the energy performance contract.
What’s next: project financing and implementation details (including construction schedule and contractor subagreements) will follow the execution of the contract and state permitting as required. Administrators said work on the related bus garage demolition and replacement project is in final state facilities planning review; that project remains contingent on state approval.
At the meeting: the motion to approve was made by a board member, seconded, and carried by oral vote. No detailed roll‑call vote was recorded in the public remarks at the time of approval.
Public record: the board’s resolution and the RFP number were read into the record during the meeting.
