Regency Centers has installed the company's first solar energy system at the Shops at Saugus. The 18,740 s/f photovoltaic array, built with 1,064 rooftop panels, will generate an estimated 250 KW of renewable energy annually. The zero-emission power source will supply nearly 65% of the power needed by the center's grocer Trader Joe's.

Tim Lukes with Edison Energy served as a consultant to assist Regency with the installation of the solar panels.
