Under the program, Chevron Energy designed, built, operates, maintains, measures and guarantees a 2.1MW solar system’s performance for the district.
The solar project is expected to save more than $8m and offset approximately 80% of the combined utility energy demand for two high schools.
The district anticipates it will reduce its purchase of utility power and in turn, reduce carbon emissions by 1,900 metric tons, equivalent to the carbon sequestered annually by approximately 375 acres of trees.
The cost of the project was funded through Qualified School Construction Bonds. In addition, a rebate from the California Solar Initiative will contribute to the general fund savings generated by the solar program.
Chevron Energy develops and builds sustainable energy projects.
