WHAT: Western’s cutting the cord on high-priced energy at our Solar Panel Celebration. Join Western’s board of directors and other community leaders at the event. Tours of the facility will be given immediately following the event.

The system, located at Western’s Operations facility off of El Sobrante in Riverside will save approximately $4.6 million over the next two decades and help maintain the District’s commitment to supporting utilization of renewable energy technologies.

According to information provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Western’s new system is expected to avoid 944 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year – which is equivalent to removing 3,560 cars from California’s roads over the first 20 years of the system’s operation.

WHERE: Western’s El Sobrante Facility, 16451 El Sobrante Rd., Riverside
