Chevron shines with California solar array
BREA, CALIFORNIA - A solar energy project in southern California will remove more than 86,000 tons of emissions from the atmosphere, energy company Chevron said.
Chevron's subsidiary Chevron Energy Solutions teamed with officials in Brea, Calif., to launch a 1.8 megawatt solar energy project.
The solar farm will position Brea as the largest contributor of solar energy to the electrical grid in Orange County, the company said in a statement.
Brea Mayor Ron Garcia was quoted as saying the installation of the solar facility will bring his city one step closer to environmental benchmarks.
Chevron said the solar facility along with improvements made to energy infrastructure will drive down energy consumption by as much as 40 percent.
The city, meanwhile, will cut its greenhouse gas emissions to a level equivalent to removing 16,000 cars from the road during the life span of the solar facility.
The system should go online next year, Chevron said.
