At Greenwork, we’re all about celebrating the hands-on work of rebuilding our country’s infrastructure. We’re starting this series to showcase some of the awesome infrastructure projects that are under construction or recently finished.

The Eland Solar & Storage Center is a massive solar farm under construction near Bakersfield, CA which will provide power to the City of Los Angeles. The project will provide LA’s municipal utility (Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, aka “LADWP”), with as much as 7% of its total electricity. The developer and the utility agreed to final terms for the project in September 2019 and the farm is slated to come online in 2023.
