Logistics Plus Delivers Clean Energy to California

1006

Erie’s Logistics Plus is playing a big role in the generation of clean energy in Southern California, providing the transportation and solar panels to the Mount Signal Solar Farm — the largest solar installation in the world.

According to Logistics Plus, the first phase of the $636-million three-phase project is expected to take nine months and will convert 1,936 acres of low-yielding farmland into a photovoltaic solar farm near Calexico. The project will employ 950 workers at the peak of its construction, and the total acreage utilized will be 4,500 when all three phases of the project are completed. A total of 3.1 million solar cells will be transported and installed throughout the project, which will provide electricity to 72,000 households through a 25-year lease agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric.

Logistics Plus, which manages freight for small, medium, and large sized companies, was selected for the project because of its expertise in international and domestic forwarding and warehousing.
