SANTA PAULA, Calif. — On Oct. 3, Ventura County Todd Road Jail in Santa Paula celebrated the commissioning of a 1 MW solar energy system at its facility. The project is estimated to double the solar power capacity for the County of Ventura and save $180,000 in electricity costs that would offset 40 percent of the jail’s electricity needs each year.
