About the Indianola Solar Project
The Indianola Solar Project is Complete. Check out some details on the benefits of this solar project:
- Location: The solar field sits on 25 acres of IMU-owned land next to the city’s water department at 1602 S. K Street.
- Power Size: The system can produce 4.1 megawatts (MW) of electricity at peak output.
- Annual Energy: It will generate up to 6.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity every year – enough to power hundreds of homes.
- Grid Savings: By producing local solar power, IMU can reduce its reliance on outside electricity:
- Up to 10% less grid power needed during summer peaks.
- Up to 40% less during winter.
- Lower Costs: This means IMU buys less power when prices are highest, helping keep electric rates more stable over time.
