EDPR NA Distributed Generation, the distributed generation platform of EDP Renewables North America, has completed a 720-kW rooftop solar project at the Mercedes-Benz USA Parts Distribution Center in Fontana, California. During construction, the project supported 65 jobs.
The new rooftop solar installation will help power daily operations at the facility while lowering energy costs and enhancing long-term utility price stability for the location. In its first year, the installation is expected to generate more than $18,200 in electricity cost savings.
“California businesses are navigating a rapidly evolving energy landscape marked by increasing demand and price fluctuations,” said João Barreto, EDPR NA Distributed Generation CEO. “Rooftop solar is a smart, scalable solution that allows organizations like Mercedes-Benz USA to control energy costs, improve resilience, and advance their sustainability goals — all while maximizing the value of existing infrastructure.”
