Altus Power Announces 1.7 MW Solar Project In Northern California

Altus Power, the leading provider of clean energy for commercial-scale projects, has completed a 1.7 MW rooftop solar installation at 700 Crocker Drive in Vacaville, CA. This distribution center, spanning 839,000 square feet, will use solar power to cover nearly 80% of its yearly energy needs at a reduced cost. The project, part of California’s Net Energy Metering 2.0 program, will also help cut emissions by 1,000 metric tons of CO2 each year, totaling 35,000 metric tons over its lifetime.

Brett Phillips, Altus Power’s Director of Western US, said “Projects like this showcase the dual benefits of commercial-scale solar. The project will deliver clean energy over its 35-year useful life to the facility while also reducing operating costs for users and increasing asset value for the property owner. We’re proud to support the facility’s sustainability goals and promote the value of renewable energy across the state of California.”

The project will bring major advantages to the building owner, such as new rental income and reduced energy costs. This initiative expands Altus Power’s solar assets in California, adding to its existing 120 MWs across the state. Altus Power operates in 25 states, supporting businesses that are dedicated to reducing their carbon footprint. As a comprehensive solar provider, Altus Power focuses on long-term ownership and delivers clean energy close to where it’s used, helping to reduce the demand for additional transmission infrastructure.
