Twenty-four Phoenix-owned properties have solar panels, which moves the nation’s sixth-largest city closer to its goal of harnessing more renewable energy.
City officials hope that at least 15 percent of the city’s energy use comes from “green” sources, including solar, by 2025.
The solar projects account for about 4 percent of the city’s energy use.
That is progress, said Vice Mayor Bill Gates, who leads the City Council’s sustainability subcommittee.
