CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
FROM: Peter Nierengarten, Sustainability and Parking Director
DATE: May 20, 2016
SUBJECT: Ozarks Natural Energy — Purchase of 100 Solar Panels
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends contracting with the Ozarks Electric Cooperative for the purchase of 100
shares (panels) at the Ozarks Natural Energy Solar Facility.
BACKGROUND:
Ozarks Natural Energy is a 1 Megawatt (MW) ground mounted solar photovoltaic array that was
recently constructed on a 4 acre site along Hwy 412 just east of Springdale. The array has
4,080 shares that are available for purchase by Ozarks Electric members at a cost of $340 per
share for 25 years. Each share represents a unique 400 watt solar panel that is owned by the
member. Electricity produced by the panels will be credited to the member's account at a rate
of $0.04/kWh for 2016. That rate will be adjusted upward annually based on the wholesale cost
of electricity. Ozarks Electric provides all the operations, maintenance and repairs for the
panels and provides insurance coverage in the event that the array or any associated
equipment is damaged. Ozarks Natural Energy is the first and largest Electric Cooperative
commercial scale solar facility in Arkansas. There is no other utility company in Fayetteville that
the City could contract with to purchase solar electricity shares (panels).
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fayetteville's purchase of 100 shares (panels) at the Ozarks Natural Energy Solar
Facility demonstrates the City's continued committed to renewable energy and energy
efficiency. This project also supports continued renewable energy market transformation, saves
taxpayer money and helps protect our environment!
The purchase of 100 panels would cost $34,000 and have a projected payback of 8 years.
Direct electricity savings over the 25 year life of the agreement are projected to be over
$75,000. Fayetteville's 100 panels will generate 54,000 kWh of electricity per year which is
triple the amount of electricity that the City currently gets from renewable sources. The
electrons generated by these solar panels will offset approximately 20% of the electricity
consumed at Fayetteville's new Regional Park set to open later this year in South Fayetteville
and will save the City over $2100 in electricity costs during the first year. Additionally, this
project will help protect Fayetteville from the uncertainty of rising energy costs over the 25 year
life of the project.

Fayetteville, AR 72701
The City of Fayetteville's purchase of 100 shares (panels) at Ozark Natural Energy will help
further development of renewable energy generation in Northwest Arkansas. It will also
advance the City's goal of achieving an 80% reduction in community -wide greenhouse gas
emissions by offsetting 100,000 Ibs of carbon dioxide emissions per year and prevent nearly
50,000 Ibs of coal from being burned to generate electricity.
The City's purchase of 100 shares (panels) in Ozark Natural Energy was discussed at the April
18, 2016 Environmental Action Committee meeting and received unanimous support.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
The Building Energy Efficiency Project Budget (Account: 4470.9470.5315.00, Project No.
15009.1) will be used to fund the $34,000 purchase of 100 solar panels at Ozark Natural
Energy.

The idea behind Ozarks Natural Energy is simple: enjoy the benefits of renewable energy without the hassle of purchasing,
installing and maintaining the equipment yourself. Participating members receive a credit on their monthly bill based on the
total output from the facility. Each member's individual bill credit is determined by the percentage of output "shares" for which
they sign up during the enrollment period. Currently this program is only available to Arkansas members.
XL
AM MM MM M +
Our facility produces energy, which is then sent on to our system, or grid, and members who participate receive credit
based on purchased shares of the facility's total monthly output.
With Ozarks Natural Energy the cost. of enjoying solar power makes more sense than purchasing rooftop solar because even
with rebates, rooftop solar is an extremely expensive option to purchase, install and maintain. The price per share promises
payback with more than 10 years remaining on the panel's life.
Another wonderful benefit with Ozarks Natural Energy is that it makes no impact on members' homes. It also doesn't require
that members own their home or property, as no equipment needs to be installed. There is also no impact on homeowner's
insurance. With rooftop solar, there is an impact on the home's structure. There is also no guarantee of solar power viability
and it can impact homeowner's insurance,
By participating in Ozarks Natural Energy, our members can be a part of history and something truly special.
