Solar City Sacramento

Location: Sacramento, California, USA
Project Power produced: 3.4 MW at 6 Sites, Including City Hall
Lifetime CO² Reduction: 150 million lbs.
Annual Energy Production: 4.2 million kWh
The solar city of Sacramento, California’s capital city Sacramento that leads the nation in solar energy, has made a significant dedication to solar energy—and the best part is that this city didn't have to tap into the city's budget to go with solar power. Instead they partnered with Solar City, who financed, engineered, installed and will do the new solar power projects through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and the City will only pay for the power generated at a rate that is expected to be lower than electricity from the grid.
The solar city benefits:
Saving energy and the associated carbon dioxide emissions, solar city also helped create local construction jobs. In addition to the full-time employees based in Solar City's Sacramento operations center, Solar City hired nearly 250 local construction workers on a project basis to complete the Sacramento Projects.
The 3.4 MW project includes six City locations: City Hall, Police Department, Meadowview Service Center, South Corporation Yard, and the Fairbairn and Sacramento Water Treatment Plants. The systems are expected to produce about 4.2 million kWh the first year, which is roughly equals the electricity used to power 400 homes.

Phase II Completed
After the first four projects began in 2011, Sacramento solar City Council voted to increase the Solar City project and approved a second phase which added another 1.5 MW at the Fairbairn and Sacramento Water Treatment Plants.

The City of Sacramento is working to develop an entertainment and sports center (ESC) in downtown Sacramento. This venue will serve as a major economic development tool for the city of Sacramento and the Sacramento region.
