BT (British Telecom) began a corporate initiative
to reduce carbon emissions, and key to that
mission was incorporating solar energy at their
North American corporate headquarters in El
Segundo, CA. Choosing to purchase solar power
rather than the power plant, BT entered into
a solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with
SPP, which required no capital outlay or maintenance
and operation expenses from BT. The result
is a beautiful 601 kW system that produces
15-20% of BT’s current energy needs for
its El Segundo offices and network operating
center.
