“The Acterra judging committee was impressed by the collaborative effort involving MCE and the City of Richmond,” said Nicole Angiel, Acterra’s Director of Sustainability. “Not only does the project provide a green energy option for rate payers in the East Bay, its development generated fixed-term, much-needed, high-paying jobs for Richmond residents.”
“RichmondBUILD was very excited to be able to partner with MCE on this project along with the City of Richmond, sPower, Chevron, and Cenergy Power,” said Fred Lucero, Program Manager at RichmondBUILD. “This project represents the largest public-private solar partnership in the Bay Area and provided our program participants – who are from low-income households and largely minorities – with training in green-collar jobs that will help build a brighter future for themselves and their families.”
The Solar One project eliminates 3,234 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year and repurposed 60 acres of a remediated brownfield site while supporting over 340 jobs with a 50% local hire requirement.
"MCE Solar One produces enough renewable energy to serve nearly six percent of Richmond's electricity load," said Mayor Tom Butt of Richmond. "I'm proud that we're not only generating electricity close to home, but this project has also given us a way to model the types of collaborations we need – from the public and private sector, as well as local unions – to combat climate change.”
