Our little City of Lake Worth is making a
big impact nation-wide:
Video below: “Distributed Energy:
The Lake Worth Solution.”
“In the midst of an economic comeback, the City of Lake Worth, Florida,* built a renewable energy station on top of what used to be a landfill. This 2-megawatt solar farm is one step in a much larger plan to revitalize the area, both aesthetically and economically.Across the U.S., energy users of all sizes are taking control of their power supply, and relieving stress from the grid. That’s the idea behind distributed energy.”†
This very well-produced video below features:
- Lake Worth City Manager Michael Bornstein.
- Lake Worth Mayor Pam Triolo.
- Lake Worth Electric Utility Asst. Dir. Walt Gill.
- Siemens City Infrastructure Exec. Hector Samario, MBA, LEED AP.

†“Whether the challenge is energy generation, distribution, storage, or management, all can be addressed through a single solution: on-site energy control. Often called distributed energy, this increases reliability while reducing costs and environmental impact.”
