Southern California Solar
- Exelon Corporation has acquired Antelope Valley Solar Ranch One, a solar PV project in northern Los Angeles County, from First Solar. When completed in late 2013, it will generate enough clean, renewable electricity to power the equivalent of 75,000 average homes and displace the carbon emissions of 30,000 cars per year.
Solar Investment
Solar energy is part of Exelon’s growing renewable energy portfolio of hydro, wind, and landfill gas power. Through partnerships and power purchase agreements, Exelon Generation continues to invest in solar energy.
- As part of Exelon 2020, partnered with Sun Power to build the nation’s largest urban solar installation, Exelon City Solar.
- In 2008, Exelon Generation entered into a 20-year agreement to purchase electricity generated from a solar facility in Fairless Hills. The Exelon Conergy Solar Energy Center has 17,000 solar panels that produce about 3,700 MW hours of electricity per year.
- We also have a 20-year power purchase agreement for a solar-generating plant to be built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. It is expected to go online in 2010 with an installed capacity of about 1.2 MW.
- PECO, which serves customers in Philadelphia and southeastern Pennsylvania, has signed 10-year agreements 6MW, or 80,000 MWh, of solar Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) in support of Pennsylvania’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards. This is equivalent to the amount of energy needed to power nearly 1,000 average American homes for 10 years.
Environmental Commitment
- Exelon Generation and its partners Conergy earned the Green Power Generators Award from PennFutures for the Exelon Conergy Solar Energy Center. Exelon Power Team will market the solar Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) associated with the solar plant’s electric production.
