Conservation organization National Audubon Society has become the first nonprofit in Arkansas to be powered by 100% solar energy with its 35-kilowatt solar array at the Little Rock Audubon Center, officials said. Meanwhile, OMCO Solar announced Tuesday a partnership with Little Rock-based renewable energy company Entegrity Energy Partners.
The National Audubon Society hosted a ceremony Tuesday for the new array that will meet all of the center’s electricity demand, according to a news release. The center at 4500 Springer Boulevard in Little Rock also will have a Solar Learning Lab that’s geared for kindergarten to 12th-grade students and nonprofit leaders. North Little Rock-based solar power developer Scenic Hill Solar built the plant.
