The utility sells electricity to tenants at both the Oakland Seaport and the Oakland International Airport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a project that has been six years in the making,\u201d said Port of Oakland executive director Danny Wan. \u201cUsing renewable power sources to meet our energy needs is another important step towards zero emissions and a greener port.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In March 2017, the Port approved the $8.9m deal to buy power from Antelope Valley, one of the largest solar farms in California with about 1,300 acres. The port\u2019s commitment is equivalent to using about 50 of those acres.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle\" style=\"display: none !important;\"><\/div>\n<p>The port will purchase approximately 11,000 megawatt hours of electricity annually from the solar farm, about 7% of the port utility\u2019s overall power needs. With other solar energy it already uses, the port now gets approximately 30% of its power from solar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnergy resources are challenging to find right now and energy prices are hitting highs we have not seen since 2001,\u201d said Jared Carpenter, Port of Oakland Manager of Utility Administration. \u201cTherefore, this solar array coming online at this time is perfect for the port utility energy portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mailmunch-forms-after-post\" style=\"display: none !important;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-below-post-content\">\n<div class=\"stream-item-size\" style=\"\">\n\t    <!-- \/91333190\/SPLASH247_*_Splash247_Article_*_Strip_Slot_*_2 --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2\">\n<script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); });\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-bottom-meta post-bottom-tags post-tags-modern\">\n<div class=\"post-bottom-meta-title\"><span class=\"tie-icon-tags\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span> Tags<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"tagcloud\"><a href=\"https:\/\/splash247.com\/tag\/united-states\/\" rel=\"tag\">United States<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>splash247<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Port of Oakland\u2019s stake in a newly expanded solar array at Antelope Valley Solar Ranch in Lancaster, California, went online last week, delivering renewable energy to the port\u2019s owned and operated utility.
