Johnson County explores 10 year solar energy deal with Moxie Solar
Johnson County supervisors pursue a 10 year power purchase agreement with Moxie Solar to install a solar array atop the Secondary Roads facility at 4810 Melrose Ave. The county would buy electricity for 0.0975 per kWh with 3 percent annual increases and retain an option to buy the system after 10 years. Projected savings outweigh costs over 25 years, while the county eschews upfront purchase.
