NexGen Energy and Bella Energy say they have been chosen by Salt Lake County to develop a solar project on the roof of the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake City.
The team presented a plan to install up to 2.6 MW of solar modules on the structure. If built to that capacity, the Salt Palace will generate more than 3,330 MWh of electricity annually, while reducing the building's consumption by 25%, NexGen and Bella Energy say.
NexGen Energy will own and operate the facility and sell the power to Salt Lake County at a fixed rate, and Bella Energy will design and install the project. Construction on the project is expected to begin later this year.
