The system is forecasted to generate over 730,000 kilowatt-hours of power annually.

SAN MATEO, Calif.--Alta Energy today announced the completion of 504.7kW solar generation system project at Westfield Century City shopping center in Los Angeles, California. Managed by Alta Energy, Inc., this project represents the sixth solar PV system deployed at Westfield Corporation properties, continuing Westfields goals of reducing energy consumption and sustainability.

The Westfield Century City project is a part of Los Angeles Department of Water & Powers Solar Photovoltaic Incentive Program. The system is forecasted to generate over 730,000 kilowatt-hours of power annually, which represents a significant portion of the malls energy consumption. The project will remove 568 tons of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to removing 107 passenger vehicles from the road, and it will save the emissions from 193 tons of waste that are sent to the landfill instead of being recycled.

Westfields Executive Vice President of Management Tom Tierney said, "The Century City system is the sixth PV solar generation system installed in Westfields U.S. portfolio and will support our conservation initiatives, produce green energy and improve both environmental and operational results. Alta Energy continues to provide us with solid methodology to help us assess and optimally deploy renewable energy systems at the right location at the right time."

Alta Energy VP of Development Services, Jeff Hintzke, said, "We are pleased to see Westfields forward-thinking strategies culminate into real, green-power generating assets. The current slate of active projects for Westfields portfolio will certainly raise Westfield to the top ranks of renewable energy adopters in the commercial shopping center world, setting a high bar for other players to aspire to. The idea that green power generation can benefit both economic and operational goals of a consumer-facing facility is a very powerful concept that should encourage others to follow."
