Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC), which is dedicated to enriching the community’s understanding of science, technology, and their impact, has retained Astral Power to provide solar power to its Science Museum, Strasenburgh Planetarium, and Cumming Nature Center.
Astral Power works with different communities and organizations to provide them with clean local energy through Community Solar. Once RMSC agreed to be a partner subscriber, Astral Power handled the rest, which included reserving a share of a local solar farm in Spencerport, and working with RMSC’s electric provider to ensure a seamless transition. In addition to reducing RMSC’s carbon footprint and enabling RMSC to support local economic development, this partnership is expected to save RMSC an estimated $7,500 per year.
“We are excited to partner with Astral Power on this clean-energy project that will benefit RMSC, our community, and the environment,” says Hillary Olson, RMSC President & CEO. “Astral Power’s community solar program is a real-world example of how science and technology impact daily life, which enhances RMSC’s existing efforts toward sustainability and brings our mission to life.”
