The City of Greeley, Colorado recently completed the installation of a 500 kilowatt (kW) solar array at its wastewater treatment facility. The array is expected to produce about 723,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, which is approximately 15% of the electricity needed at the facility. The $1.5 million project is owned by Oak Leaf Energy Partner, Enfinity America Corporation, and Intermountain Electric. Those companies will sell the solar-generated electricity to the City of Greeley at a lower rate than the city's utility company, Xcel Energy. Over the next 20 years that lower rate is expected to create a savings of approximately $1 million for the city. Greeley is looking at similar projects at two other wastewater treatment facilities.
