Mountain Regional Water’s floating solar array
project is designed to power a water treatment facility in Park
City, Utah with locally generated renewable energy.
Mountain Regional Water Special Service District, a special
service district of the state of Utah that serves drinking water to
the Snyderville Basin area of Park City, Utah, has awarded
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator
specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, a contract
to design and install a floating solar photovoltaic array site.
This award precedes the district’s selection for a grant for
$400,000 from Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky program for the
district’s Signal Hill Water Treatment Plant. The array will be
owned by the district and will be placed on the treatment plant’s
holding pond and provide electricity to power the water treatment
plant.

Ameresco’s project design involves the deployment of a
589.7-kilowatt, DC capacity floating solar array. The system will
be integrated behind the meter with the Rocky Mountain Power
utility, allowing it to serve electricity directly to the treatment
plant. Once installed, the floating solar array system is designed
to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 384 metric tons annually,
which is equivalent to saving 43,211 gallons of gasoline per year
or preventing the burning of 430,160 pounds of coal.
Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky program awarded this project to
the Mountain Regional Water Service District as one of a dozen
community-based renewable energy projects awarded in 2023. Blue Sky
is an opt-in program that gives Rocky Mountain Power customers the
option to match all or part of their energy use with renewable
energy, reducing their carbon footprints and driving demand for new
renewable energy in the West. Since 2006, Blue Sky’s 56,000
participants have helped fund over 200 new, community-based
renewable energy projects in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming communities.
The systems include solar, wind, geothermal and other forms of
renewable energy.
“Installing a floating solar array system at Signal Hill Water
Treatment Plant stands as a testament to our commitment to shaping
a brighter, sustainable future through innovative energy
solutions,” said Bob Georgeoff, Executive Vice President, Ameresco.
“Together with our partners on this project, we are thrilled to
demonstrate how providing the right mix of solutions can help our
customers meet their decarbonization and energy savings goals in an
economically viable manner.”
The completion of this project is designed to offset 92% of the
energy consumed from the grid and reduce the district’s energy
costs by 80%. The new floating solar array system will also produce
887,712 kilowatt-hours of solar energy annually, significantly
contributing to the local power supply.
"Traditional ground or rooftop solar wasn’t an option for us at
this facility, but this innovative floating solar installation
makes use of an untapped resource," said Chris Braun, Mountain
Regional Chief Technology Officer. "This is one more piece of the
puzzle for us get to a ‘Net-Zero’ energy goal as we strive to be
responsible stewards for the community and the environment. "
“We are proud to partner with Mountain Regional Water and
Ameresco to move forward with this project that will lower energy
costs and our carbon emissions,” said Andy Badger, Rocky Mountain
Power Regional Business Manager. “Ameresco leads the way in finding
new ways of combining environmental stewardship and cutting-edge
technology and we look forward to the end results of this
project.”
Construction is anticipated to begin in June 2024 and be
completed by September 2024.
