Dinuba – This week, the City of Dinuba, Chevron Energy Solutions and Tioga Energy completed a 1.15 megawatt solar electric system that will reduce energy costs for operations at the city’s largest energy consumer — its wastewater treatment plant.
This “clean energy” asset consists of a ground-mounted racking system of 4,704 photovoltaic modules that sit atop a capped landfill near the plant on hundreds of large concrete slabs, each weighing more than 3,000 pounds.
The project is expected to cut the City of Dinuba’s electrical utility usage at the site by 70 percent.
City government, business and community leaders celebrated the completion of the project Tuesday morning at the Wastewater Reclamation Facility, which is located on Avenue 412 in Dinuba.
