Pre-Project Conditions
The limited affordable financing mechanisms for funding clean energy projects reduce the options that utilities have in regards to developing clean energy projects for their renewable energy portfolio requirements. Additionally, renewable energy projects create an opportunity to generate electricity without the same atmospheric emissions generated by fossil fuel fired plants or the use of scarce water resources for electricity production.
Project Objective
Reduce demands for traditional fossil-fuel based energy production through the installation of a solar photovoltaic energy generation facility, contributing to the displacement of harmful emission.
Project Scope
Construction and operation of a 23 MWAC fixed-tilt, polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic solar park, with its entire generation capacity interconnected to an existing substation (IID property), located adjacent to the solar park site. The electricity generated is being purchased by Imperial Irrigation District (IID), pursuant to 30 year long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
