This 419 kW solar power system was made possible by SunEdison, North America’s largest solar energy services company, a subsidiary of MEMC Electronic Materials (NYSE: WFR), and REC Solar, the nation’s leading solar integrator. The project required no upfront capital from the City. The solar array system located at the wastewater treatment facility at 20015 NE Sandy Blvd. will generate over 460,000 kWh of clean solar energy in the first year of operation. Over 20 years, the system will generate more than 8 million kWh of energy; enough energy to power over 780 average US homes for one year.

The system was constructed through a partnership with SunEdison, REC Solar and incentives provided by the Energy Trust of Oregon. REC Solar designed and installed the system for the City of Grisham which created over 20 jobs for the project.
