PGE increases its solar energy capacity to more than 12 Megawatts

PGE (Portland General Electric), which is one of the major players in the field of commercializing renewable energy and already has a solar energy capacity of more than 9 megawatts, is planning another 2.4 megawatt roof-top project along with partners U.S. Bank and ProLogis. This is supposed to be the largest roof-top project in the Pacific-Northwest, spread over 900,000 square-feet. This new project will use UNI-SOLAR innovative “thin-film” solar panels which have a higher efficiency in generating electricity. PGE, which ranks 8th in the United States for its total solar energy capacity, is one of the few companies which are taking actual steps towards the proper commercialization of the usage of solar energy In everyday life.

This, 2.4 Megawatt project, which will require around 60,000 work hours, can help further PGE in achieving the state’s goal of providing 25% renewable energy by 2025.
