The City of Hollywood, Florida Green Solar & Wind Energy Efficiency Project Website
$1.3 million was awarded to the city through the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant Program as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to install Solar Panels and Wind Turbines at city facilities.
The program will reduce the city’s energy costs and carbon emissions and serve to help educate the public on available renewable energy technologies that can be used in the public and private sectors to help promote a green and sustainable Hollywood.
The City of Hollywood has partnered with Energy Systems Group (ESG), to develop a renewable energy project that will involve installation of solar photovoltaic panels and wind technologies.
As part of the project, a total of 140 kW of solar photovoltaic generation capacity will be installed at City Hall, the Hollywood Beach Culture & Community Center and Fire Stations 74 & 105. Additionally wind turbines with total generation capacity of 4 kW will be installed at the Hollywood Beach Culture & Community Center.
New Energy Efficient Reflective Cool Roofs will also be installed at City Hall and the Hollywood Beach Culture & Community Center.
