BACKGROUND

As part of a consulting team, Sage has assisted the County in evaluating a number of renewable generation projects. The first included a zero net energy plan for the County’s existing multi city block Government Center, including their County Offices, Courthouse and Jails. As part of the work, Sage conducted a broad evaluation of opportunities for efficiency, renewable generation and other energy projects, with consideration of applicable advanced technologies. Sage further assisted the County in evaluating proposals for a county-wide RFP for over 6 MW of fuel cell projects that were bundled into four categories based on project sizes at eight SCC sites. Sage also provided an analysis of a RES-BCT solar arrangement where 11 MW of PV are to be located on seven county sites and transfer bill credits to remote meters.
