North County school district projected to save more than $190,000 annually after energy efficiency upgrades

Ferguson-Florissant School District completes 44 energy efficiency projects through Ameren Missouri program

The Ferguson-Florissant School District is on track to save more than $190,000 annually after recently completing 44 energy-efficiency projects through Ameren Missouri’s BizSavers program. In addition to the annual cost savings, these upgrades project to save the school district 1.94 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity annually.

Projects completed by the Ferguson-Florissant School District including brightening classrooms and replacing inefficient heating and cooling systems.

“Ameren Missouri worked closely with us to identify smart investments that will ultimately lower our energy expenses for many years to come,” said Terry O'Neil, assistant superintendent of operations, maintenance, and transportation at Ferguson-Florissant School District. “The upgrades we made through BizSavers are also significant for the Ferguson-Florissant students, faculty and staff as our savings can now be redirected toward education.”

Ameren Missouri's BizSavers program offers businesses and nonprofits cash incentives for energy efficiency upgrades such as LED lighting, high efficiency HVAC and refrigeration systems, commercial-grade cooking equipment and more.

“We’re excited about how this partnership can positively impact the Ferguson-Florissant School District,” said Rich Wright, manager of energy efficiency at Ameren Missouri. “By working together, we identified several ways the school district can save energy and money. This is just one way we’re supporting the communities we serve through energy efficiency programs.”
