With El Sobrante's landfill gas-to-energy station and the Glen Ivy Community's two solar panel farms, Temescal Valley is home to two renewable energy stations.
Glen Ivy strives to be sustainable community that minimizes its impact on the local environment. The community runs two separate solar panel grids composed of approximately 64 solar panels on its property; the electricity that is generated is sold back to the local grid. Glen Ivy also runs a community-wide recycling program in which much of the residential kitchen waste and landscape trimmings are composted. These materials are then returned to the 20 acres of certified organic fruit orchards in their community, helping to enrich the soil without the use of chemical fertilizers.
We commend the residents of Glen Ivy for their environmental stewardship.
