MANITOWOC, Wis., Feb. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OESX) (Orion Lighting), a provider of energy-efficient LED lighting, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and maintenance services solutions, today announced an installation project of 105 EV charging stations and related infrastructure in the Boston (MA.) Public School ("BPS") system. The contract is valued at $4 million.

Orion's Voltrek division is installing 105 DC fast charging stations and related infrastructure at the Freeport Bus Yard operated by the Boston Public Schools, one of the company's largest customers and one of the most prominent school districts in the United States. Like a number of Orion/Voltrek installations for BPS, the new units feature an innovative above-ground mounting method with Jersey barriers.

Orion/Voltrek is a recurring partner in the BPS initiative to electrify 100% of the district's 750 school buses. The BPS effort is the Northeastern United States' largest school-bus electrification program.

Orion/Voltrek is involved in spearheading numerous fleet-electrification initiatives in the Northeast. Orion/Voltrek's electrification and maintenance engagements include multiple-location deployments in municipalities and roll-outs of electric van charging capabilities in school districts. The company's work is illustrated by the installation of 13 charging stations for the Lower Pioneer Valley School Educational Cooperative serving the Greater Springfield, MA. area.

"Orion/Voltrek is proud to be a reliable long-term provider of EV Charging, Infrastructure and Maintenance to BPS, one of the most innovative public school districts in America," said Orion Chief Executive Officer Sally Washlow. "Fleet managers increasingly rely on Orion/Voltrek to deliver the quality, reliability and scalability that enterprise fleet managers require."

Paren research expects 8% growth in the U.S. EV Charging market this year.
