The solar installation is made possible through a solar power service agreement under which SunEdison will finance, design, construct, operate and maintain the approximately 130 acre ground-mounted solar deployment.
SunEdison will also maintain a long-term ground lease agreement with DMAFB for use of the land for the solar installation, and in return, DMAFB will purchase the energy produced from the solar power plant.
When completed, the solar farm will produce approximately 31.5 million kWh of energy annually and over 575 million kWh over 20-years, and will deliver 35% of DMAFB’s total base load of energy.
