SAN MATEO SOLAR PROJECT

“This additional solar power has the dual advantage of providing emission-free power to our grid and saving millions of dollars in electricity costs for some of our most disadvantaged customers,” said Shawn Marshall, Peninsula Clean Energy CEO. “We are also delivering further benefits to the residents of San Mateo County and the city of Los Banos, including sourcing this carbon-free power for our Los Banos customers from their home county.”

More than 2,600 customers have been selected to receive power from the project. Overall, selected Peninsula Clean Energy customers will cumulatively save more than $700,000 annually from the project over the next two decades. Renewable America developed, secured financing for and constructed the Dos Palos project.

“Positive economic and environmental impacts for local communities are at the core of everything we do,” said Ardi Arian, president & CEO of Renewable America. “With this project, we’re not only helping California meet its clean energy goals, we’re proving that renewable energy can be a force for equity, ensuring that all communities, especially those historically underserved, share in the benefits of clean energy. This is the future we’re working toward.
