Featuring approximately 85,000 solar panels located on 165 acres of land, the Bakersfield I is located in Kern County, California, and is the company’s second solar generating facility.
Power generated from the facility will be sold to a large investment grade electric utility under a 20 year power purchase agreement. The solar project will generate 53.3GWh of energy per year.
APUC is also considering construction of the 10 MW Bakersfield II Solar generation project adjacent to Bakersfield I Solar, as part of its efforts to expand its solar generation portfolio. The Bakersfield I Solar project is due to enter service in the first half of 2016.
Located near Morse, Saskatchewan, Canada, the Morse Wind is APUC’s eighth wind generating facility, and features 10 direct drive wind turbine generators over 1,120 acres of land.
Power generated from the project, which is expected to generate 104.0 GWh of energy annually, will be sold to a large investment grade electric utility under a 20 year power purchase agreement.
APUC chief executive officer Ian Robertson said: "These projects confirm our commitment to growing our renewable energy portfolio both in Canada and the U.S. and we are confident that these projects represent continued creation of shareholder value."
