SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 15,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Environmentally-conscious residents at
Shelter Creek Condominiums, a 1,296-unit multi-family development
in San Bruno, Calif., now have a
way to offset more than 70 percent of the community's annual
electricity usage thanks to a new solar system from Centrica
Business Solutions.
Centrica Business Solutions, part of Centrica plc, announced the
design and installation of the 2.5-megawatt high efficiency solar
project in 2017 and now have officially broken ground at the
development. As one of the largest solar installations at a
multi-family development in the state, this project brings eight
phases of construction of the rooftop solar system. Once complete,
the installation is expected to generate 3,632,773 kilowatt-hours
annually – equivalent to removing 545 cars from the road or
recycling 896 tons of waste, instead of sending it to a
landfill.
Shelter Creek Condominiums is one of the largest multi-family
developments in San Mateo County
and is leading the way as a sustainable community. "Our residents
are informed and knowledgeable about sustainable living, and we are
excited to work with Centrica Business Solutions to lower our
community's carbon footprint," said Ronnie
Rosen, General Manager of Shelter Creek. "The solar
installation complements our California Energy Commission-granted
electric vehicle charging stations, LED lighting components in the
common areas, renewable energy recycling, composting, and
sustainability through the 'no neonicotinoid pesticide' policy for
our on-site honey bee super hives."
"We are excited to partner with Shelter Creek on this project,"
said Brian Brogan, Senior Director
of Business Solutions at Centrica Business Solutions. "By providing
clean renewable energy to residents, we are creating a more
sustainable and eco-friendly environment that is an important focus
of the residents here, while also aligning with our corporate
commitment to provide products and services that lead to a lower
carbon future."
