Sedona AZ (December 2, 2013) The City of Sedona will hold a “Flip the Switch” event at the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant on December 11 at its State Route 89A location to commemorate the construction and completion of a new solar panel project. The public is invited to attend the 11:00 a.m. event and light refreshments will be served.

This project is a public-private partnership between the City of Sedona and SunEdison, a solar power provider company. Through SunEdison’s innovative power purchase agreement with APS, there are no capital construction costs or on-going maintenance costs for the City of Sedona.

The solar panel project will generate enough electrical energy to power a significant portion of our wastewater treatment plant at a reduced power rate. It is estimated that over the course of the 20-year contract, the City of Sedona will save approximately $1.2 million in electric energy costs and produce over 20 million kilowatt hours of clean sustainable solar energy.

For more information, please contact Nicholas Gioello, Assistant to the City Manager, by email at ngioello@SedonaAZ.gov or by telephone at 928-203-5100.

    Can city hall explain what the new APS unfriendly solar charges will cost the WWTP? The city attorney needs to explain to the city at the next council meeting if we keep the promised freebies or does the contract not hold up?
