Bridge Renewable Energy, Solaris Energy, and WATTMORE have signed a contract to develop, finance, and operate a 1.8 MW solar and storage project for the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians and Harrah's Resort SoCal. This project, located on the Rincon Reservation in San Diego County, aims to reduce carbon emissions and lower energy costs. The collaboration leverages incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act and various state and federal grants. This milestone follows nearly three years of planning, design, and financial modeling.
Solaris Energy and WATTMORE co-developed this project using complementary skill sets to combine incentives from the new federal Inflation Recovery Act signed into law in 2022 with State and federal grants, allowing maximization of the economics and impact for both the Tribe and the investment partner Bridge Renewable Energy.
