Project Profile

 
British Telecom Solar Project

Overview

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.

Results

The solar project was announced at a ground-breaking ceremony with HRH Prince Andrew in February 2008 and completed in December 2008. The system produces 15-20% of BT’s current energy needs for the El Segundo campus. The system consistently produces at and above expectation.
