CASA Member Launches Award-Winning Battery and Solar Project
The Inland Empire Utilities Agency and Inland Empire Regional Composting Authority were recognized by their award-winning landmark water energy project at a dedication on September 19. IEUA and IERCA partnered with Advanced Microgrid Solutions to expand its existing solar and battery storage system. The system uses Tesla battery technology to integrate solar and wind in order to optimize renewable generation, reduce demand on the electric grid and lower energy costs. It is expected to reduce demand on the electric grid by over 2.5 million kilowatt hours each year, which is equivalent to powering 212 homes for a year.
