OAKLAND, Calif. - Chevron Energy Solutions, a subsidiary of Chevron, has completed the largest solar power and energy efficiency project for the United States Postal Service at its mail center in northern California. According to the company, the project at the Oakland Processing and Distribution Center reduces the facility's power purchases by more than one third.

The Oakland project is one of dozens that Chevron Energy Solutions is developing at mail facilities throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii under a multi-year contract with the Postal Service. In northern California alone, at major postal centers in San Francisco, West Sacramento, and other locations, these high-efficiency and alternative power improvements are expected to save the Postal Service more than $2 million per year in energy costs.
