Willdan Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WLDN) announced today that Clark County School District – the fifth largest school district in the United States – has selected Willdan for a $102 million contract to deliver energy-saving projects across 204 schools. The retrofits and upgrades will save the District an estimated $170 million in lifetime energy savings and an estimated $700,000 in annual operations and maintenance costs.

This contract marks the second phase of projects that Willdan will implement for the District, encompassing approximately double the square footage and energy savings, compared to the first phase. Willdan has engaged more than 200 local subcontractors to deliver this contract, with about 30% certified as Minority- or Women-Owned Business Enterprises. Willdan helped the District secure more than $6 million in external funding, including $3 million in federal tax benefits.

“We’re pleased to expand our work with Clark County School District, helping to reduce their energy footprint and lower their operational costs,” said Mike Bieber, Willdan’s CEO. “Projects like these demonstrate our expertise in helping educational institutions save money and lower carbon emissions. We look forward to transferring knowledge to the local community through STEM education initiatives that benefit both students and faculty.”
