Our solar projects

We are exploring how solar energy development on our right-of-way can help meet our energy needs, reduce long-term operational costs, and reduce GHG emissions. Executive Order 19-27 (PDF) directs state agencies to reduce GHG emissions 30 percent from 2005 levels by 2025 and facility energy use 30 percent from 2017 levels by 2027. On-site renewable energy can help achieve these goals and save taxpayer money on electricity costs.
