Partner Profile In 2006, Alameda County, California, a two time Green Power Leadership Award winner, installed its ninth photovoltaic installation and solidified its position as a national leader in onsite solar installations for local governments. This new 882 kW rooftop system at the County’s recently-built Juvenile Justice Center, along with its previously installed solar photovoltaic systems, gives the County 3.1 megawatts (MW) of onsite generation capacity at County-owned facilities. Alameda County's efforts reflect a continuing dedication to developing local, renewable energy sources and raising public awareness of green power. Thanks to its renewable energy initiatives, Alameda County is meeting 10 percent of its electrical needs in County-owned facilities with clean, reliable green power, which is over 3 times more than its Green Power Partnership commitment.
