THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE ON SATURDAY ANNOUNCED A PROJECT TO CONVERT A NUMBER OF CITY BUILDINGS TO SOLAR ENERGY. CITY COUNCILOR PAT DAVIS SAYS IT’LL BE THE LARGEST MUNICIPAL SOLAR PROJECT IN NEW MEXICO. HE SAYS THE CITY HAS GOTTEN FEDERAL TAX CREDITS ALLOWING ALBUQUERQUE TO INSTALL SOLAR ON DOZENS OF CITY BUILDINGS AT A SAVINGS OF 20-MILLION DOLLARS TO TAXPAYERS.
LAST YEAR THE CITY COUNCIL PASSED A RESOLUTION SETTING A GOAL FOR THE CITY TO GET ONE-QUARTER OF ITS ENERGY FROM SOLAR BY 2025…AND DAVIS SAYS THIS IS A BIG STEP TOWARD THAT GOAL.
