The Gas Company, LADWP to Present CSUN with $2 Million During
Celebration of University's New Solar Electric System
What:
Southern California Gas Company (The Gas Company) and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) officials will present Cal State Northridge with incentive checks totaling more than $2.1 million during a special ceremony to dedicate the university's second solar electric system.
The more than 2,800 165-watt solar panels built on the southwest side of the campus, combined with more than 3000 75-watt panels on CSUN's north side, are expected to save the university more than $140,000 annually in energy costs while at the same time contributing to a cleaner environment. Together, the installations constitute one of the largest solar electric systems at a public university in California.
The latest $3.5 million project was developed by the university's Physical Plant Management with The Gas Company and LADWP.
