Yreka’s first Solar Array in downtown

The Siskiyou Economic Development Council (SEDC) applied for a Blue Sky solar award with Pacific Power, to bring a 24.5 kilowatt solar array to downtown Yreka. The array and back up battery system is a central feature of a new business innovation campus, which opened in December 2026. The project to repair the 400 Block includes the reopening of the Carnegie Library and the adjacent building with Energy Star appliances, upgraded lighting, and environmental remediation. The 400 block will serve Siskiyou County as a model of climate resilience and sustainability. The project also qualified for Pacific Power’s Wattsmart incentive. A local company, Callahan Solar designed and installed the array.
