Long County School System Unveils 10 New Electric School Buses

As part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean School Bus Program, the Long County School System was awarded a grant to purchase 10 IC Bus electric school buses and chargers. The new buses were unveiled to the community in October.

Canoochee EMC supplies power to the charging system in the school district’s bus barn, as well as to nearby Long County High School.

Canoochee EMC was excited to work with the Long County School System to supply power for these buses,” says Joe Sikes, Communications Specialist with Canoochee EMC. “This project will provide another solution to the Long County School System’s transportation needs, allowing them the opportunity to diversify their fleet.

The new electric school buses are a significant investment in the future of the Long County School System. They will help to reduce the school system’s environmental impact and provide a more comfortable and efficient ride for students.

Canoochee EMC is proud to support the Long County School System in this important initiative. Our organization is committed to providing clean, reliable and affordable energy to its members, and we are excited to see this investment in the community.
