Hollister Uses Solar Technology to Save Money and Educate Workforce

摘要

The City of Hollister lies 40 miles south of San Jose and 40 miles inland from Monterey; with a population of 35,165 it's the only major municipality in San Benito County. Unpredictable electricity rates have presented a challenge for the city in recent years. But with plenty of sunlight and clear skies, it's an ideal location for generating solar power. Hollister considered these factors and began exploring the idea of using solar power to run its new $120 million wastewater-treatment plant.
