Gresham, Ore- Tomorrow the City of Gresham, REC Solar and SunEdison will celebrate the activation of a 419kW ground mounted solar power system at the Gresham Wastewater Treatment Plant. This is the largest ground mount solar power system in the Pacific Northwest to date.
The photovoltaic system will generate approximately 440, 000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of zero emission clean solar energy per year. It is comprised of approximately 1,900 solar panels.
The City will benefit from the long-term predictable energy pricing from the solar energy system for twenty years. The clean solar power generated by the system will off-set their demand from the grid. The City of Gresham will use all of the energy produced.
