The Clearwater Power renewable generation and net-metering demonstration project was completed in 2009 with two specific goals:
Demonstrate how to install and connect a renewable energy project to the CPC grid safely and legally.
• These units are "net metered" to our headquarters building. Learn more about Net Metering.
Show the general public how much the materials and installation actually cost.
• The 1 kilowatt (kW) solar array generated 1244 kWh in its first full year of operation. This comes out to around $110.
• The 2.4 kW Skystream wind turbine generated 258 kWh in its first full year of operation. This comes out to about $23.
