Yesterday, Encore Renewable Energy, a leading renewable energy developer and operator, delivered a $10,000 donation to Barre Unified Union School District, in particular, to Spaulding Educational Alternatives, which is located adjacent to Encore’s I Love Cows Solar array. Construction and energizing of the project will be completed later this year.
Encore’s generous donation was gratefully received. “Our plan is to utilize these funds to provide our students with technical, hands-on experiences that will allow them to enter the workforce or the next phase of their life with a strong foundation and a strong direction from which they can contribute to the community and benefit themselves,” said Jesse Schattin, SEA Director.

This donation is the first of Encore’s recently-established program to empower community initiatives with every project they build, and is part of the company’s broader mission to be a trusted partner for all stakeholders in the projects they develop and deliver.
