Exelon市的太阳能电厂位于前工业区，这个工业区已经荒废了30年了，该太阳能电厂包含32,292块太阳能光伏板。它将取代三千一百二十万的温室气体的排放量,相当于以每年超过2500辆汽车上路所消耗的尾气排放,根据电力公司宣布。
开始在2009年7月开始施工，在12月投入商业运营。最后的完成工作在这月结束。中圣集团负责设计、制造和安装太阳能系统。Exelon拥有及经营电厂将会在电力市场上销售电能。
Exelon官员说，该项目促建减少，抵消和取代超过一千五百万的公吨的温室气体到2020年。这比公司2001年碳排放量的数量还要少，并相当于减少了3百万辆车排除的尾气。
The Exelon City Solar plant contains 32,292 solar photovoltaic panels distributed on a former industrial property that had been vacant for more than 30 years. It will displace 31.2 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually, equivalent to taking more than 2,500 cars off the road, according to the electric company.
Construction on the site began in July 2009, with commercial operation commencing in December. Final site work was completed this month. SunPower designed, manufactured and installed the system. Exelon Generation owns and operates the plant and will market the electricity it generates.
“I want to thank Exelon and SunPower for their vision and their commitment to Chicago,” says Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. “This project is a great example of the good things that happen when government and the private sector work together.”
Exelon officials say the project advances their efforts to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions a year by 2020. This is an amount greater than the company’s 2001 carbon footprint and equivalent to taking nearly 3 million cars off the road.
