Pima County, Ariz., officials, along with SunEdison and SOLON Corp., have activated a 1 MW photovoltaic power plant near the Roger Road Wastewater Reclamation Facility.
The solar power plant was made possible through a solar services agreement between Pima County and SunEdison that required no upfront costs from the county, and which the county estimates will save it between $1.2 million to $2 million over the 20-year contract term.
The plant is expected to produce over 2 million kWh of energy annually and more than 40 million kWh of energy over the next 20 years.
