Project Details

The estimated capacity of the Utility Operations Center Parking Lot – Carport Solar Project is 411 kW. This solar array is estimated to produce approximately 650 thousand kWh/year of clean solar energy. That is equivalent to powering 91 homes annually. The Utility Operations Center Parking Lot is the employee parking lot for the GWP Power Plant, which is located adjacent to where the Verdugo Wash empties into the Los Angeles River. 

For the Utility Operations Center Solar Project to be successful, there are 3 trees in the parking lot that must be removed. More information will be provided once the plan is finalized.
