The Regional Renewable Energy Procurement Project is an energy project in the San Francisco Bay Area, set to develop 186 sites that will generate a total of 31 megawatts, enough electricity for more than 6,000 residences. The project is expected to create more than 800 jobs.[1][2] In May 2015, Gina McCarthy, head of the federal Environmental Protection Agency, presided over a dedication ceremony at the first designated site for the project, at the location of Hayward's former landfill, next to the Hayward Regional Shoreline.[3][4][5][6]
