Sacramento Soleil Solar Project
Sacramento Soleil represents the largest solar PV array in the United States, and the first in California, to be built exclusively in response to customer enrollment in a voluntary green pricing program. The SolarShares program provides an opportunity for all SMUD customers to choose solargenerated electricity and become “virtual solar owners.” enXco was awarded the contract to construct, own and operate the system based on their project development expertise, economic competitiveness, and ability to deliver the project. enXco will provide the energy on a 20-year power purchase agreement to SMUD.
