ForeFront Power is celebrating the completion of a 5-MW solar project at the Easterly Wastewater Treatment Plant (EWWTP) in Vacaville, California. There is also an energy storage system on-site, but no details on the size of the system were released. The EWWTP system will generate nearly 8.1 million kWh of renewable electricity annually. Designed to offset the annual electricity demand at the EWWTP facility, the solar and storage system is projected to save the city more than $25 million in electricity costs. … The EWWTP solar and storage system was developed through a 20-year PPA between the city and ForeFront Power.
