National Grid Renewables Hosts Charitable Stuff-the-Bus Event at 200 MW Prairie Wolf Solar Project

As part of the celebration and Stuff-the-Bus event, a school bus was brought to the project site, and donations were collected and placed inside the bus to support the local Kansas School District.

Items collected and donated by project partners, customers and community members included backpacks, sports equipment, calculators, writing utensils, classroom supplies and more.

The Stuff-the-Bus event highlights the purpose of the Prairie Wolf Education Fund, which is funded by National Grid Renewables and is estimated to contribute $720,000 over the next 20 years to the local Kansas School District.

The Prairie Wolf Education Fund is just one example of how National Grid Renewables prioritizes charitable giving and often implements charitable funds for the projects it owns and operates to benefit local community members.

"We are so fortunate to have a progressive company such as National Grid Renewables in our area," stated Cindy Spencer, Kansas School District Superintendent. "This is an adventure with solar panels that will acclimate our students to the future of electricity. National Grid Renewables and their staff have been supportive and generous throughout this entire project." 

"The Prairie Wolf Solar Project demonstrates National Grid Renewables' commitment to invest in the American economy, give back to local communities, and help build a more sustainable, clean energy future," stated Blake Nixon, President of National Grid Renewables. "Thank you to the residents of Coles County for welcoming us into your community."
