Collins Aerospace

Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, and Common Energy, a community solar provider, announced a partnership to support a portfolio of four new community solar projects across the greater Portland area. In aggregate, the projects have a capacity of 12 megawatts and will generate 17 million kilowatt hours of clean energy each year. Clean electricity from the projects will flow directly to the electric grid and replace fossil fuel generation, thereby lowering carbon emissions. The projects will be owned and operated by Luminace, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield Renewables. According to the provisions of Oregon's Community Solar Program, the projects will have a mix of commercial, residential and low-income subscribers. Each subscriber will receive credits on their electricity bills, proportional to their share of the projects, lowering their energy cost. In addition, all subscribers will receive Renewable Energy Certificates. Collins' facility in Wilsonville, Oregon, will make up the commercial allocation, thereby “anchoring” the portfolio. Approximately 10% of the projects' credits will be allocated to low-income households, which will receive a guaranteed 20% savings on their electricity bills for 20 years.
