Oregon Universities Commit to Big Solar Energy Project

Oregon’s state universities are embarking on what’s believed to be the state’s largest solar energy project, an effort that will eventually bring solar arrays to all seven campuses in the Oregon University System.

The project — called Solar By Degrees — will begin installation of a total of 27 acres of solar panels generating almost 5 megawatts of power at the Oregon Institute of Technology, Oregon State University and Eastern Oregon University. A staged installation will begin this summer and fall, and will continue in 2012.
