Couldn’t resist posting this amazing aerial shot (click on the picture to see it full size) of our McKenzie solar farm which was completed late 2012. Located just south of Sacramento, McKenzie is one of 88MW of now-operating solar power projects Recurrent Energy developed for SMUD.

I love how beautiful the project looks against the green fields of California’s central valley in spring. It visually conveys how compatible medium-scale utility solar can be with the environment and farming communities.

With 109MW currently in construction and 315MW planned for the year ahead, we’re going to have a lot more projects like McKenzie to look at in the near future!
