City of South Lake Tahoe Conducts Energy Modernization Project
The City of South Lake Tahoe will conduct an $11 million energy and infrastructure modernization project.
The project was awarded to the Willdan Group, Inc., a professional, technical, and consulting services company to utilities, government agencies, and private industries.
The two-year project combines energy and operational efficiencies for a cost-effective solution that positions the city for future growth and improved sustainability.
“This project reduces our city’s carbon emissions while investing in long-term infrastructure that will benefit our community for years to come,” said Sara Letton, Sustainability Coordinator for the City of South Lake Tahoe, in a statement. “It brings us closer to the goals in our Climate Action Plan, including 100% municipal renewable energy by 2032 and a 50% reduction in community-wide emissions by 2030.”
The project will provide the city with a cogeneration microturbine, photovoltaic solar panels that produce 415 kWdc and advanced building automation systems across all city-operated buildings. Willdan will also install right-sized water meters, energy-efficient power transformers and a new CO2 ice plant that uses an environmentally friendly refrigerant to produce ice for the community’s ice arena.
The City of South Lake Tahoe is located 60 miles southwest of Reno, Nevada, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It encompasses an area of approximately 16 square miles with an average elevation of 6,200 feet above sea level and a population of 22,525.
