“This is another important step in our move toward operating the Port in an environmentally responsible way. With the annual cost savings, it also makes good business sense,” said Mike McGowan, chairman of the Sacramento‐Yolo Port District Commission. With the Port installation, PPM is now the largest supplier of solar power in Yolo County.

“We’re excited to add the Port of West Sacramento to our growing portfolio of high quality solar energy projects,” said Sarah Modgling, Director of Business Development. “All of our systems are lowering energy costs for our customers. Every PPR power purchase agreement to date is proof that our customers can have the economic and environmental benefits of green energy without the capital investment.”
