EBMUD solar project expected to offset 10 percent of current energy costs

The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) in Oakland, California, recently announced the installation of its largest solar facility. Designed, built, owned and operated by TotalEnergies, the 4.6 MW project will supply the water agency with approximately 10 million kilowatt-hours of clean solar energy per year.

EBMUD partnered with TotalEnergies on the Orinda Photovoltaic Solar Energy Project (“Orinda PV”), under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) in an effort to significantly offset EBMUD’s greenhouse gas emissions and advance the utility’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2030.
