Upon the project\u2019s completion in 2010, some 25,000 solar panels will line the roof of Sunset Reservoir, more than tripling San Francisco\u2019s total municipal solar energy output from 2 MW today to 7 MW.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday San Francisco takes another major step towards achieving our commitments to reduce greenhouse gases and grow our green economy,\u201d said Mayor Newsom, who sponsored the legislation. \u201cIn building California&#8217;s largest solar photovoltaic system at Sunset Reservoir, we\u2019re creating dozens of green collar jobs and securing a stable source of clean power for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors gave final approval to the ordinance, which establishes a 25-year contract between the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and San Francisco-based Recurrent Energy to supply clean, renewable solar power for City municipal services and facilities, including public schools, San Francisco International Airport, SF General Hospital, Muni and more. The project will also create more than 70 local green jobs, including at least 21 jobs for individuals in the City\u2019s workforce development programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m proud that my district will soon be home to California\u2019s largest solar PV installation,\u201d said Supervisor Carmen Chu, who co-sponsored the legislation with Mayor Newsom, and whose district includes the 8-square block Sunset Reservoir, the City\u2019s largest. \u201cI want to thank the environmental community, my colleagues on the Board, the SFPUC and Recurrent Energy for forging this smart public-private partnership that will rapidly expand our green power resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis historic project is an example of how protecting our environment and growing our economy go hand-in-hand,\u201d said Supervisor Eric Mar. \u201cI want to thank the \u2018blue-green\u2019 coalition of organized labor and environmental advocates who helped bring solar power to our largest City reservoir.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The agreement between the SFPUC and Recurrent Energy leverages a 30% federal tax credit available only to the private sector through a \u201cPower Purchase Agreement\u201d (PPA) to dramatically lower project costs. Over the 25 year life of the contract, the City estimates that the power purchased from the project will cost $50.3 million, $36 million less than the lifetime cost of $86.3 million had the City built and financed the system themselves. Under the agreement, Recurrent Energy also assumes all the risk of financing, building and operating the project. The SFPUC is only responsible for purchasing the solar power produced at a competitive rate. The measure was also co-sponsored by Supervisors Eric Mar, Bevan Dufty and Michela Alioto-Pier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApproval of this project signifies a major step toward achieving our ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals,\u201d said SFPUC General Manager Ed Harrington. \u201cBy tripling the City\u2019s municipal solar output, the Sunset Reservoir Solar Project has an immediate and direct impact on our carbon footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the kind of project that will help lead our economic recovery with good green jobs, local contractors, apprenticeship opportunities and strong partnerships between organized labor and the community,&#8220; said Michael Theriault, Secretary-Treasurer of the San Francisco Building &amp; Construction Trades, AFL-CIO.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecurrent Energy is proud to partner with the City to deliver not only clean electricity and local green jobs, but also a solar energy system that will serve as a symbol of San Francisco\u2019s deep commitment to environmental sustainability,\u201d said Recurrent Energy\u2019s CEO, Arno Harris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe crisis of global warming demands immediate action,\u201d said John Rizzo of the Sierra Club San Francisco Bay Chapter. \u201cThe Sunset solar project will reduce carbon emissions by over 100,000 metric tons of carbon over twenty-five years and help San Francisco lead California into a new green energy future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Megawatt Project Will More than Triple San Francisco\u2019s Total Solar Energy Output and Create New Green Jobs SAN FRANCISCO, CA \u2013 Standing atop San Francisco\u2019s largest water reservoir, Mayor Gavin Newsom today signed into law an ordinance that will lead to the construction of California\u2019s largest solar photovoltaic (PV) installation.
