NAPERVILLE, Ill. — The City of Naperville, along with the Illinois Municipal Electric Agency (IMEA), hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, June 4 to formally unveil its new solar energy system located at the Springbrook Water Treatment Facility, 3712 Plainfield-Naperville Road. This over 3,000 panel solar energy system – a testament to the power of partnerships in advancing clean energy efforts locally and statewide – furthers the City's efforts to enhance sustainability.
Created in partnership with the City's wholesale power provider the IMEA, as well as Sol Systems and GRNE Solar, the 4.5-acre solar energy system features 3,348 solar panels and began commercial operation on February 24, 2021.
"Naperville is a city that has always cared about sustainability, and I am thrilled to see this solar energy system come to life," Naperville Mayor Steve Chirico said. "Clean energy is critical to our community's future, and sustainable solutions are best achieved through partnerships, like the one that made this solar energy system possible."
The solar energy system will generate approximately 1.684 million kWh per year, which is enough power to fully supply 180 Naperville electric customers for a year. The public can view the system's real-time output by visiting www.imea.org/NapervilleSolar.aspx.
