Board: district solar array shows zero production since March storm; NIPSCO to assist
Summary
Board members and staff reported the district solar array has recorded “zero production since the storm that hit on March 8th.” NIPSCO and the district's contractor will work to switch a recloser back on, repair the meter and attempt to recoup lost production revenue.
The MSD of New Durham Township School Board was told on May 15 that the district solar array has produced no power since a storm on March 8.
Superintendent Brian Ton said the problem centers on a recloser switch in the transformer box that is owned and operated by NIPSCO and that the district's contractor, Performance, is assisting. "Zero production since the storm that hit on March 8th," the minutes record. Board members said NIPSCO will help switch the device back to the on position and perform repairs to the meter.
Maintenance staff said they are checking the meter each day and the district is "looking to hopefully recoup some funds from it being down." The minutes do not list an estimated repair timeline, projected revenue loss, or contract-level costs; board discussion recorded no vote tied to expenditures for repairs.
