It is part of the CPA\u2019s Power Share program, which the alliance implemented as part of the California Public Utilities Commission\u2019s Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff program; that PUC program helps develop renewable energy projects in disadvantaged communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese savings provide critical relief for families disproportionately impacted by high energy bills,\u201d said alliance CEO Ted Bardacke. \u201cWe are proud to help expand equitable access to renewable energy solutions that strengthen communities, lower costs and ensure Southern California\u2019s clean energy future benefits everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Power Share participants will receive a 20% discount on electricity bills, including Carson itself \u2014 which will save $75,000 per year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project is a powerful example of how collaboration between public agencies, private industry and community stakeholders can deliver meaningful results,\u201d Carson Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes said during a celebratory event on Thursday, April 30. \u201cThis program makes clean energy savings accessible to renters and working families who have too often been excluded from the benefits of the clean energy economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This installation is among 16 solar photovoltaic projects in operation or under development in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, totaling about 23 megawatts of renewable energy capacity and serving thousands of disadvantaged households.<\/p>\n<p>Prologis has been the host of these projects in the South Bay, with six of 10 participating warehouses being in Carson. The company has developed the solar installations by utilizing the roof space on top of its large warehouse facilities. Prologis alone has contributed 9 megawatts of capacity and created more than 160 jobs, a CPA press release said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Prologis, we believe logistics infrastructure can do more than move goods \u2014 it can create lasting community value,\u201d said west region Prologis President Megan Creecy-Herman. \u201cBy transforming rooftop space into renewable energy resources, we are helping deliver meaningful economic and environmental benefits to local families while supporting California\u2019s clean energy future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Five of the six Carson facilities are operational, with the last one scheduled to come online later this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProjects like the Carson Community Solar installation show that community solar is not just viable, it\u2019s evolving, expanding and delivering measurable results through competitive procurement that helps keep costs affordable for customers,\u201d said Molly Sterkel, director of the Office of Electric Supply, Planning and Costs with the California Public Utilities Commission. \u201cThe electricity generated by this community solar installation will help achieve California\u2019s clean energy goals and deliver savings to customers who need it most.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"City council member Jim Dear gestures towards rows of solar panels during an event to celebrate the installation&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[7,16844,643,131,133,132,137,100,200],"class_list":["post-294067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-california","tag-carson","tag-environment","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news","tag-los-angeles-county","tag-news","tag-south-bay"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
