Subject. Discussion on Solar Facilities Power Purchasing Agreement
City staff has been exploring solar panel options as part of its Energy Audit which began in 2010
in the efforts to implement various energy conservation measures in order to reduce overall
utility costs and increase its environmental sustainability. This presentation and discussion is
regarding a proposed power purchasing agreement (PPA)with Siemens Building Industries for
the installation and maintenance of solar panels as covered parking structures at City Hall,
Multigenerational Recreation Center and Library. Representatives from Siemens Building
Technologies along with City staff will give an overview of what the PPA entails, overview of the
installation, maintenance and operational processes.
The enclosed PPA would require City Council approval for the Mayor to sign allowing the City to
proceed with the project and also obtain the valuable Salt River Project(SRP) rebates. The
viability of this project will depend on the SRP rebates meaning the ultimate goal is to have the
solar project pay for itself with no cost to the City and the additional benefit of savings over time.
This item is would be a regular session item for July 17th City Council regular session. PPA
would need to be executed by August to secure the needed rebates through SRP.
