SANTA CLARA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 15, 2021 / SPI Energy Co., Ltd., (NASDAQ:SPI) (the "Company"), a global renewable energy company and provider of solar storage and electric vehicle (EV) solutions for business, residential, government, logistics and utility customers and investors, today announced that it has partnered with Common Energy to subscribe customers to SPI's six community solar projects in the Portland General Electric (PGE) territory in the greater Portland, Oregon area.
SPI's community solar projects total 17 megawatts (MW) and are expected to be completed in 2021 and 2022. Once the projects are completed, they will generate over 24 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity and prevent over 16 million pounds of carbon emissions annually.
SPI's Oregon solar project portfolio is participating under the state's new Community Solar Program, which was established by the Oregon state legislature in 2016. Under the program, households and businesses can subscribe to a community solar project for free and receive clean energy credits each month that lower their electricity bill. In addition, each subscriber receives the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) generated for their share of the solar project.
Members of the public who are interested in supporting one of the projects can enroll for free at Common Energy's website: www.commonenergy.us. Business served by Portland General Electric (PGE) are encouraged to email partners@commonenergy.us to see if they qualify.
Mr. Xiaofeng Peng, Chief Executive Officer of SPI Energy, commented, "We are pleased to partner with Common Energy to help Customers of PGE subscribe to our community solar projects in Oregon. We are happy with the progress of the Oregon Community Solar Program and look forward to providing PGE customers with a more cost-effective option for their electricity through our solar operations."
"We are excited to partner with SPI on this exciting portfolio," said Richard Keiser, CEO of Common Energy. "These projects provide additional clean energy to the electrical grid, lower carbon emissions for everyone in the community, and enable local households and businesses to save money."
