PORT OF OAKLAND <br /> AN INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIP. The Port of <br /> Oakland has created an innovative public/private <br /> partnership with SunEdison LLC to finance, build <br /> and operate a solar power system at the Port's Oak- <br /> land International Airport. The Port will purchase <br /> the facility's power for 20 years. The solar system <br /> nameplate output is 747 kilowatts and it is expected <br /> to produce approximately 1 million kilowatt-hours <br /> ti of energy annually. This photovoltaic system will <br /> reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated <br /> 28 million pounds over 20 years. It will also pro- <br /> vide local generation capability for the Port which <br /> reduces the load on the already stressed electrical <br /> transmission system. The electricity from this clean, <br /> renewable energy system will be distributed by the <br /> Port's utility system for use throughout the airport. <br /> ROSEVILLE ELECTRIC UTILITY <br /> THE GREENING OFA COMMUNITY.
