In partnership with Renewable America (RNA), MCE proudly illuminates Marin County with the activation of another 1 MW solar venture. The 4.5-acre Fallon Two Rock solar farm marks MCE’s latest local endeavor, projecting to generate an estimated 2,300 MWh annually, enough to energize 400 homes.
"We're thrilled to celebrate Fallon's commercial operation and toast the partnership with MCE at the ribbon-cutting," exclaimed Ardeshir Arian, RNA's President and CEO. "Renewable America's motto 'Think Local. Act Local' drives us to prioritize local projects like Fallon Two Rock that positively impact local communities."
The Fallon Two Rock project, launched in January 2024, stands as a testament to MCE's commitment to local energy generation, contributing to their 48 MW portfolio. RNA Services, an RNA subsidiary, spearheaded the project's engineering, procurement, and construction, with continued oversight in operations and maintenance.

"Celebrating Fallon Two Rock's inauguration underscores our pursuit of a sustainable future," remarked Katie Rice, MCE board director and Marin County supervisor. "RNA's additional funding will propel MCE's efforts to nurture the clean energy economy, offering training opportunities for local residents."
As MCE's 16th Feed-In Tariff project in the Bay Area, Fallon Two Rock symbolizes the synergy between renewable energy development and job creation.
