Water district expects to generate savings with solar

Water district expects to generate savings with solar - Ramona Sentinel: "In a special meeting June 1, Ramona Municipal Water District (RMWD) directors agreed to enter into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a private company that will construct two solar projects at the RMWD sewer plants which will cost the district nothing but could provide savings of $2.2 million in energy costs over 20 years.
“I think it’s pretty win-win for us,” said RMWD Board President Jim Robinson, who served on the Solar Ad Hoc Committee with Director George Boggs. “We’re going to save a considerable amount of money over the 20-year life. And it’s clear to us we don’t have to incur any (additional) payroll, any more employees, no more insurance costs, anything. I think it’s a pretty good deal for us.”"
