Gilbert moves forward with innovative and cost-saving solar power project at wastewater reclamation facility
Gilbertaz.gov
The Gilbert Town Council approved a solar power purchase agreement back in November of 2010 in a move to support a unique and innovative project that will use solar energy to power the Neely Wastewater Reclamation Plant.
The project, a partnership with SPG Solar, will generate about 44 percent of the electrical needs for the facility, and will offer Gilbert taxpayers reduced utility costs at the facility. The solar panels will be located over the beds now used to recharge water back into underground aquifers.
The $10 million solar project will be constructed in April 2011 at no cost to taxpayers and SPG Solar will be responsible for maintanence. The purchase agreement is expected to allow the Town to receive a 20-year fixed price for the utility.
