Portland OR (SPX) Oct 11, 2010 Cox Enterprises has announced that it has completed a solar power installation at its Manheim Portland facility on North Hayden Island Drive. The photovoltaic rooftop solar panel installation is 16,500 square feet and converts the sun's radiation to electricity. "The Manheim Portland solar installation is closely tied to Cox Conserves, our national sustainability program," said Steve Bradley, director of alternate energy, engineering and business continuity for Cox Enterprises. "This is our tenth alternative energy project, and combined, the projects prevent 12,000 tons of greenhouse gases from entering the environment on an annual basis." The installation generates 193 MWh of energy annually and provides more than 25 percent of the facility's electrical load requirement. By harnessing the sun's power, Cox helps the environment and reduces its energy costs. "We're very pleased with the solar installation. It's a visible example to our employees and customers that our company is committed to conserving energy," said Jim Mumford, general manager of Manheim Portland.
