A former Californian landfill site, leased to Marin Clean Energy (MCE) for a peppercorn rent by oil company Chevron, has been transformed into a 10 MW solar farm. “California is leading the nation in addressing climate change, and this project demonstrates how local projects can achieve environmental justice objectives and support our state’s goal of 100-percent renewable energy by 2045.” The project is being built on the site of an old Chevron refinery and will be operated as part of MCE’s “Solar Farm” program. The scheme was part of Chevron's $1bn Modernisation Project and will also help Richmond achieve its 2050 target of reducing emissions to 80% below 1990 levels.
