Today, Clark-HP generated 1 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From
fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 2 lbs of
CO2 into the atmosphere.
This could power:
- An electric toothbrush for 4 weeks
- A 42" plasma-screen television for 2 hours
- A typical video game system for 2 days
The HP-Vancouver project is a direct result of the success of Clark Public Utilities' (CPU) green power program, Green Lights. The solar electric system was funded by revenues from this voluntary program, which allows utility customers to purchase non-polluting, renewable energy supplied by BEF. Designed to demonstrate the viability of renewable resources right here in urban areas of the Pacific Northwest, this installation is the fourth in a series of local reinvestment projects made possible by the generous support of Green Lights customers such as Hewlett-Packard.
The PV system consists of two 1.1 kW pole-mounted arrays, and will generate over 2,600 kilowatt-hours of pollution-free electricity per year. The Green Tags created by the installation will be included in CPU's Green Lights product. Revenues from the sale of this renewable electricity will be used to purchase more renewable energy and to fund additional demonstration projects.
