TotalEnergies inaugurates the Orinda PV solar project for East Bay Municipal Utility District, providing a 4.6 MW capacity and reducing greenhouse emissions by offering clean energy to EBMUD customers while ensuring profitability through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA).
- Investment: TotalEnergies invests in the Orinda Photovoltaic Solar Energy Project for EBMUD.
- Capacity & Impact: The 4.6 MW project supplies approximately 10 million kWh/year of clean energy, offsetting a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Trackers & Panel Technology: High-efficiency panels with single-axis trackers maximize production on the site.
- Aesthetic Considerations: The design minimizes visual impact through vegetative screening, aligning with nature trails and reservoir views.
- Energy Cost Savings & Grid Interconnection: EBMUD is expected to save 10% on energy costs while benefiting from the RES-BCT program for grid interconnection.
