A solar and battery project will grow next to a garden in National City

A community garden in National City is one of 16 organizations that will benefit by receiving a portion of $1.2 million from the annual Community Clean Energy Grant awards program.

The Olivewood Gardens and Learning Center will use $100,000 it received from San Diego Community Power and Calpine Energy Solutions to install solar panels and a battery energy storage system.

Jen Nation, executive director of the eight-acre greenspace and its nearby office that serves about 10,000 people annually, said the solar and storage project is expected to save the center about $400,000 in energy costs over the course of 20 years.
