Northwest Water Reclamation Facility (NWRF)
Ground-mounted solar array
Strategically located on land not committed to future infrastructure expansion, this site showcases Orange County Utilities’ pilot project for ground-mounted solar. Construction of the two-megawatt solar installation began in 2019 and concluded in early 2024. The array will generate up to 60% of the facility’s power and save over $400,000 per year.
COMING SOON
Orange County Utilities is planning more solar array projects to offset energy demands, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and illuminate the path toward a brighter, more sustainable future. Check back for updates!
