Sacramento,
CA, USA: OPDE and Sacramento-Yolo Port District Plan 24 MW Photovoltaic
Project
OPDE
U.S. Corporation and the Sacramento-Yolo Port District have entered
into an agreement to develop a 24 megawatt solar power generation
facility using MECASOLAR single axis tracking arrays manufactured
in the United States. The project will be located on 160 acres
in Yolo County, California.
OPDE
U.S. is excited to have the opportunity to work with the staff
of the City of West Sacramento and the port, who have shown a
very progressive and entrepreneurial spirit in considering the
merits of this project. The Project will be built on public land
leased from the Sacramento-Yolo Port District, a public entity
of the State of California formed under the River Port District
Act.
The
port commission has authorized city/port staff to continue negotiations
with OPDE U.S. during a regularly scheduled board meeting. Interconnection
applications, site environmental review, and county use permits
are underway. The site is currently used for the storage and drying
of dredge material from the port’s deep water channel, and grazing.
Both of these uses will continue after development of the solar
project.
The
project equipment and facilities will be owned and maintained
by OPDE U.S. The facility will incorporate 1,800 MECASOLAR MS-1E
TRACKER 10 seasonal one axis azimuth trackers.
In
addition to the MECASOLAR trackers, the project will include 3,598
SMA America 6000 US Inverters with a 97 percent efficiency and
104,348 high efficiency 230 Wp photovoltaic modules produced by
Trina Solar and/or REC.
