Document Description
The current power generation facilities within the park are insufficient along with emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases. The project proposes to upgrade the park’s power generation and distribution system. The work includes, but is not limited to, construction of a roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) array above parking shade structures that will supply energy to a battery bank, and gas-powered back-up generators in the event the array is not able to generate power. Existing facilities will be used to the extent feasible; however, replacement of some existing electrical distribution, equipment, and fixtures is anticipated.
Further project details and measures to be implemented to avoid and/or minimize environmental impact may be obtained by submitting a request to the project contact listed below.
