State, city and public utility officials joined to inaugurate one of  
the Sacramento region's largest private solar power installations – a  
3-megawatt (DC) project that will supply electricity to Depot Park,  
the 3-million square-foot commercial and industrial complex in South  
Sacramento. "I launched 'Greenwise Sacramento' because I believe this  
area has the opportunity to be the greenest region in the country and  
a hub for investment in clean technology," said Sacramento Mayor  
Kevin Johnson. "Today's dedication demonstrates that good  
environmental policy can be good economic policy. The scale of this  
project shows that while Sacramento has the sunshine to create  
renewable energy, we also have the collaboration and the imagination  
to think big and turn a Brownfield site into a renewable energy  
showcase. Congratulations to all those involved!"

The 12,600-panel array will produce enough power to meet  
approximately 40% of the annual electricity needs at Depot Park, the  
former Sacramento Army Depot. The installation is one of the largest  
ground mounted-tracking solar projects in California and the only one  
located at a Superfund Site within a redeveloped military facility.
