The George Washington University Hospital (GWUH) has announced that it will create a renewable energy project with George Washington University (GWU) and American University (AU) to bring solar power from North Carolina to D.C. institutions, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
The project comprises 52 megawatts of solar photovoltaic (PV) power, which is the equivalent of the electricity used in 8,200 homes every year. It is the largest non-utility solar PV power purchase agreement in the United States in total contracted megawatt hours and the largest PV project east of the Mississippi River, the article said.
The project will help GWUH, GWU and AU meet their climate action plan commitments without incurring additional costs. The partners will break ground on the first site this summer, and panels will begin to deliver electricity by the end of the year.
