Summary
The Lake Mills Area School District is soliciting public and industry comments regarding a proposed Public Interest waiver of the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) requirements.
The waiver pertains to non-domestic electrical panels and circuit boards manufactured by SquareD/Schneider Electric in Mexico for two rooftop solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects at the Elementary and Middle Schools. The project includes solar modules, racking, SMA Cube inverters (33kW and 50kW), and a 240 kWh battery storage system. The district seeks this waiver due to the non-availability of BABA-compliant panelboards during the procurement period. Comments must be submitted via email to [email protected] by May 15, 2026.
