About the Wildflower Solar project<\/h2>\n

In November 2018, Lightsource bp signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Sacramento Municipal Utilities Division (SMUD), one of the largest publicly owned utility companies in the United States. Under the agreement, Lightsource bp has financed, built, and is now operating a 16.5 megawatt solar farm within SMUD\u2019s service territory in Sacramento County, California. SMUD will purchase all the electricity under the 25-year PPA. The project went online at the end of 2020.<\/p>\n

The solar farm, called Wildflower Solar, supports SMUD\u2019s renewable energy and carbon reduction goals. It will generate enough affordable, renewable energy to cover the equivalent annual electricity needs of 2,624 homes in northern California. The project also supports SMUD\u2019s Neighborhood SolarShares community solar program, meeting growing consumer demand for renewable energy and locally sited solar power.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
