Utah has developed its first floating solar project in collaboration with the Mountain Regional Water Special Service District, featuring a 587.5 KW system installed on a holding pond at the Signal Hill facility. The project, backed by a $400,000 grant from Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky Award program, will generate 871,086 kWh of clean energy annually.
The project is expected to lower carbon emissions by 609 metric tonnes annually. The project was developed by Ameresco in partnership with D3Energy. Construction was completed ahead of schedule on September 10, 2024, with commissioning finalised by September 20. The system will begin full operations once utility approval is granted by October 23, 2024.
In July 2024, Ameresco, Inc completed construction of multiple Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in collaboration with United Power in Colorado.
