DSD与Black Bear加利福尼亚州554千瓦光伏项目完工

DSD Renewables (DSD) and Black Bear Energy have completed the construction of two onsite rooftop solar systems totaling 554 kW at the Signature Center office buildings in Pleasanton, California. The buildings are owned by an account managed by Principal Asset Management, through its dedicated real estate investment team.

The 282 kW and 272 kW solar systems were installed behind the meter and will serve a large portion of the buildings' electricity needs. The rooftop projects are expected to collectively produce 940 MWh of clean energy per year, the equivalent of powering 130 homes or avoiding 734 tons of CO2 emitted per year.

"These projects demonstrate our commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050," said Jennifer McConkey, Managing Director of ESG and Operations for real estate at Principal Asset Management. "The clean, renewable energy generated by these installations will be used to power our Signature Center buildings and minimize electricity costs."

Built and owned by DSD Renewables, and facilitated by Black Bear Energy, these solar projects are the first in a series of four office campuses owned by Principal Asset Management managed accounts to install solar. The remaining solar systems will start construction in late summer 2023 and will include rooftop solar, canopy solar, and energy storage.

"We are proud to see Principal and DSD's hard work come to fruition on these first two projects, and humbled to have supported the effort. Every electron of solar energy that we can help bring online advances our clients towards their decarbonization goals and pushes our real estate industry towards a sustainable future," commented Drew Torbin, Black Bear's Founder & President.

"These first two projects have marked the beginning of a strong partnership between Principal Asset Management, Black Bear, and DSD," said Jason Chiang, Senior Director, Origination of DSD. "We are honored to continue our work together, delivering clean energy to Principal's buildings."
