Impressive system of Conduits will deliver Solar Energy to Water Pumps

• 1.8-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation system installed at three city sites:

— Community Center: 428 kW, roof mount and shade structures

— Civic and Cultural Center: 263 kW, roof mount

— Reservoir City Pump Yard: 1,154 kW, roof mount

• Major heating, ventilating and air-conditioning upgrades, including DDC controls, to improve reliability and efficiency at Community Center, Civic Center, Senior Center, City Maintenance Yard, City Yard Pump House, and Pioneer Hall

• Interior and exterior lighting retrofits including occupancy sensors at 14 sites

• Citywide street lighting upgrades – existing cobra heads replaced with cobra heads with energy-efficient induction lighting, and existing decorative/theme fixtures retrofitted with energy-efficient induction lighting

• Solar production data and other project information accessible to the community on City’s website and on informational display at the Community Center

• Project positions the City of Brea as the largest municipal producer of solar energy in Orange County

Project OverviewCity of Brea — Energy Efficiency and Solar Power


City of Brea Energy Efficiency and Solar Power

Reservoir City Pump – 1,154 kWCommunity Center – 428 kW

Civic and Cultural Center – 263 kW

• Demonstrates Brea’s fiscal and environmental leadership

• Creates significant savings to City of Brea’s General Fund and Water Fund – $2.6 million in energy cost savings in the first five years of the project – a net cost savings of $13 million over the life of the project

• Solar power and energy retrofits reduce utility costs by more than 40%, generating annual savings to pay for infrastructure upgrades

• Solar power at the reservoir can help mitigate future pumping costs to the city

• New energy-efficient air-conditioning package units at the Community Center help ensure consistent indoor climate quality

• Energy-efficient interior and exterior lighting reduce maintenance costs and improve lighting quality and aesthetics

• Energy efficiency improvements and solar installations offset the production of 86,884 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over 25 years – equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide emissions of 16,613 passenger vehicles over the life of the project

• Helps California meet the goals of AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act
