ForeFront Power has delivered a 1.2-megawatt solar project at the County Operations Center in San Luis Obispo County, Calif. — the largest project of its kind in the county.
The project was developed, financed, owned and operated by ForeFront Power and includes 3,294 solar modules ground-mounted on six acres of land behind the County Honor Farm. The County of San Luis Obispo expects the project to offset nearly 74 million pounds of carbon dioxide and yield $6 million in net savings during the next 20 years.
“This project is a significant step forward to reaching our county goal of procuring 20 percent of our energy from renewable sources,” said Annie Secrest, energy and water coordinator for the County of San Luis Obispo. “With this project energized, the county now derives over 12 percent of its energy from solar power.”
Through a power purchase agreement with ForeFront Power, the county will purchase the electricity generated by the County Operations
