BL2026-1522
Bill
This ordinance approves a 30-year agreement with Lightwave Sustainable Ventures, LLC to design, build, and operate a solar panel system at the Nashville Youth Campus for Empowerment on Brick Church Pike. Lightwave will own the system and supply all the electricity it generates to the facility, with Nashville paying about $7,900 a month and having the option to buy the system outright at the 10th, 20th, or 30th year. The deal supports Nashville's goal of getting 100% of city government power from renewable sources by 2041, with at least 10% coming from solar.
