621 Energy provided consulting services to produce a Preliminary Design Report for a solar generating facility. As the site is not served by a utility electric grid, Grand Canyon West operates on electricity produced from stand-alone diesel generators. The overall goal was to develop an energy project to create significant operational cost savings, benefit the fragile environment, and contribute to a long-term sustainable future.
The report provided technical and economic evaluations of energy efficiency and solar PV energy options, recommended the best approaches and provided preliminary design information to allow for effective implementation. All analysis and recommendations were provided within the context of the construction of a local “micro-grid” electric distribution system to connect all the buildings on the site.
