The 1.5 MW solar energy project ("Project") will comprise of rooftop and ground mount solar installations for behind-the-meter applications at the city's waste water treatment plant, well pumping station, fluoride plant, city hall and fire station. The systems are expected to go on-line late in the summer of 2014.

"Working with SPARQ as the developer and Nautilus Solar as the owner/operator is an incredibly beneficial partnership for the City of Lordsburg. With no upfront investment required, it made sense for us from a financial and environmental standpoint considering the reduction in our energy costs that the project provided. All around, this project will improve the quality of life in our community," said City of Lordsburg Mayor Frank Rodriguez.

The solar power system is expected to reduce The City of Lordsburg's energy costs by $3.6 million over the 20-year term.

"We applaud the Mayor and the City Council of Lordsburg for their vision and commitment to the solar project which will provide long term environmental and economic benefits to its citizens," said Nautilus CEO Jim Rice.

"The project will improve the air quality in The City of Lordsburg, while creating green construction jobs in the region. We are committed to developing similar projects in the rural areas of Arizona and New Mexico," said Don Rodriguez, CEO of Sparq, Inc.
