PLEASANTON — Construction of a 1.2 megawatt solar project is expected to begin in February at the Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area, regional park officials said.
The East Bay Regional Park Board earlier this month awarded a $6.67 million contract to Borrego Solar Systems Inc. to design and install the solar panels over parking spaces at the recreation area in Pleasanton.
Borrego Solar, which has its headquarters in San Diego but an office in Oakland, beat out two competitors.
Park officials say the project will generate enough electricity to offset most of the energy use in all regional park district buildings and parks.
