底特律爱迪生公司,和蓝盾医疗协会宣布BCBSM和客户签订了一项关于可再生能源光伏项目的为期20年的协议。
光伏系统将安装在拥有四层的BCBSM停车屋顶上,位于它在底特律市中心的Congress and Beaubien拐角处,将投资100万美元,会产生200千瓦的电量。在42,000平方米的屋顶上覆盖31000平方米的太阳能电池阵列,明年春天以后完成设计和施工。
Detroit Edison and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan have announced the signing of a 20-year BCBSM and the utility’s customers with renewable energy genereated from the sun.
The 200-kilowatt, $1 million photovoltaic system will be installed on the roof of a BCBSM four-story parking structure at the corner of Congress and Beaubien in downtown Detroit. The solar array will cover 31,000 square feet of the 42,000 square-foot roof. It should be operational next spring after design and construction is completed.
The installation is part of Detroit Edison's pilot SolarCurrents program that calls for photovoltaic systems to be installed on customer rooftops or property over the next five years to generate 15 megawatts (MW) of electricity throughout Southeast Michigan.
