California's newest solar project isn't powering homes. It's powering your water
""Most Californians - the equivalent of 1 in 12 Americans - get water from the State Water Project. To make that system carbon neutral by 2035, we need efforts like the Pastoria Solar Project.""
""The 105-megawatt Pastoria Solar Project represents the largest renewable energy project contracted by the California Department of Water Resources and is a major step in its plan to fully decarbonize operations by 2035.""
The Pastoria Solar Project, a 105-megawatt facility, is the largest renewable energy project contracted by the California Department of Water Resources. It will help power the Edmonston Pumping Plant, which connects water to 27 million people in Southern California. The pumping plant is one of the largest electricity users in the state, requiring up to 800 megawatts to operate. This project is a significant step towards California's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2035, ensuring uninterrupted water supply while reducing carbon emissions.
