Orion Energy Systems, a provider of energy-efficient LED lighting, EV charging stations and maintenance services, has installed 90 EV charging stations and related infrastructure in the Boston public school system as part of multiple contracts valued at $6.5 million.

In the most recent deployments, Orion’s Voltrek division is installing 51 DC fast charging stations and related infrastructure at the Boston Public Schools’ Freeport Bus Yard and Paris Street facility. The units feature an above-ground mounting method with Jersey barriers.

The deployment is a continuation of recurring work by Orion and Voltrek for Boston Public Schools, which plans to electrify 100% of the district’s 750 school buses. The Freeport Bus Yard and Paris Street installations follow Voltrek’s previous turnkey installations to support the deployment of 20 electric school buses at the Readville Bus Yard and 19 buses at the Freeport Way Yard.

Orion’s electrification and maintenance engagements range from multiple-location deployments in municipalities to rollouts of electric van charging capabilities in school districts to 13 charging stations for the Lower Pioneer Valley School Educational Cooperative serving the Greater Springfield, Massachusetts area.

“We are seeing continued demand for Orion/Voltrek’s demonstrated ability to provide turnkey solutions for EV charging, infrastructure and maintenance,” said Orion Chief Executive Officer Sally Washlow.
