Initiative aims to have Norman residents, businesses go solar by 2025
Norman residents and businesses have the opportunity to go solar by 2025 as part of one of the biggest solar initiatives in the nation. The initiative aims to encourage residents and businesses to switch to solar energy by 2025, aiming to create two megawatts of SOLAR ENERERGY equivalent to SOLAR PANels in 200 homes by the end of the year. The goal is to create this project as part of a way that people can participate in ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY. The city of Norman, Oklahoma, has partnered with 820, an OKLAHOMA-based company that focuses on SOLAR energy transition in the region. The project aims to create the largest city LED SOLAR INITIative in the country or in the US. An event for the public will be held on April 3rd at 4pm.
