AWC 5 Megawatt Solar Array Groundbreaking

On May 24, Arizona Western College, Main Street Power Company Inc., PPA Partners, Arizona Public Service, and Rosendin Electric broke ground on a five-megawatt solar project slated for completion in October 2011. The project is anticipated to produce virtually 100% of the campus' daytime electricity needs, and could mean $40+ million dollars to the college in cost savings and other revenues over the 30-year power purchase agreement with Main Street Power.
