Altamont Solar Energy Center (ASEC)
Where Energy Grows from the Sun

We are developing a solar power plant on approximately 140 acres near Byron, California. Our unique concentrated-photovoltaic technology treads lightly upon the land. Our vision calls for using materials that are lightweight and inexpensive. End result: Power from the Sun for everyone. Other benefits:

• The project will be built on privately held, fallow land that has been regularly disced for fire prevention.
• The project will create about 275 local jobs, according to the JEDI model developed by the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
• This project will generate enough electricity at full capacity to supply over 7,000 homes.
• The project will emit no greenhouse gases. Building the ASEC instead of a natural-gas power plant prevents the release of more than 3,300 tons of carbon dioxide per year—the environmental equivalent of taking 635 cars off the road.
