Newly constructed array will provide over 1,200
MWh of energy
WGL Energy, a WGL entity, and Conergy, one of the largest
downstream solar companies in the world, have completed their joint
venture to bring solar energy to Merced County, Ca. The newly
constructed array will provide over 1,200 MWh of energy to the City
of Atwater annually, enough to power more than 100 Atwater homes
each year.
“At WGL Energy, we work to construct solutions that are tailored
to the communities and customers we serve,” said Sanjiv Mahan,
Chief Operating Officer, WGL Energy Systems. “Working with Conergy,
we have been able to bring sustainable energy answers to a growing
California community, and we hope to continue to provide solar
solutions to this region.”
Developed by Conergy and owned by WGL Energy, the project
consists of solar panels on parking structures at the town’s civic
center and community center. Ground-mount structures are located on
Commerce Ave. and Federal Way. The energy that is harvested by the
solar panels is converted to usable alternating current by Sunny
Tripower TL-US inverters from global solar technology leader SMA
America.
“Solar brings the City of Atwater a clean, local power source,
which will help lower the cost of electricity for residents for
years to come,” said Yann Brandt, Conergy’s VP of North America.
“It has been a pleasure to work with WGL Energy and the City of
Atwater to make the installation happen.”
WGL Energy now operates 15 solar arrays across the state of
California, with a cumulative capacity of 7,231 kW DC, with another
9,336 kW DC either in design or construction.
