A Message from the City Manager

The Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve (SMER) Solar Generation Project

This project is complete and connected to the grid!

The City of Temecula will benefit greatly from the electricity generated by this project which places 10,000 solar modules on 16 acres of land. The property initially contained eucalyptus groves which hindered biodiversity and posed a fire hazard, therefore the solar project was utilized as a mechanism to fund habitat restoration and ecological research. This facility will generate 75% of the power that is being used by City of Temecula facilities, saving the City $10+ MILLION over the next 30 years.

Carbon reduction? This project will reduce over 4.5 metric tons of CO2 equivalent per year. This is comparable to taking approximately 1,000 cars off road annually. The City of Lake Elsinore partnered with the City of Temecula on this project, and will also benefit.
