EDPR NA Distributed Generation Completes 720 kW Rooftop Solar Project for Mercedes-Benz USA Parts Distribution Center in California

EDPR NA Distributed Generation (EDPR NA DG), the distributed generation platform of EDP Renewables North America (EDPR NA), announced the completion of a 720-kilowatt (kW) rooftop solar project at the Mercedes-Benz USA Parts Distribution Center in Fontana, California.

The new rooftop solar installation will help power daily operations at the facility while lowering energy costs and enhancing long-term utility price stability for the location. By generating clean electricity onsite, the system reduces exposure to utility rate volatility and supports reliable energy supply amid rising power demand across California. In its first year, the installation is expected to generate more than $18,200 in electricity cost savings. During construction, the project supported 65 jobs.

"California businesses are navigating a rapidly evolving energy landscape marked by increasing demand and price fluctuations," said João Barreto, EDPR NA Distributed Generation CEO. "Rooftop solar is a smart, scalable solution that allows organizations like Mercedes-Benz USA to control energy costs, improve resilience, and advance their sustainability goals — all while maximizing the value of existing infrastructure."

The 720 kW system transforms unused rooftop space into a productive energy asset, generating renewable electricity without additional land use. The project supports Mercedes-Benz commitment to responsible resource use while contributing to California's clean energy goals.

As trusted energy providers in California, EDPR NA DG and EDPR NA bring extensive experience developing, constructing, and operating renewable energy projects across the state. EDPR NA operates 1,229 MW of clean energy assets in California powering the equivalent of 485,000 homes.  EDPR NA DG's portfolio in California spans more than 183 projects, including 79.7 MWac/85.8 MWdc in operation.
