| Subject: | [CPEO-BIF] Two New PSE&G Landfill Solar Farms in New Jersey |
News Release PSE&G February 5, 2015 Two New PSE&G Landfill Solar Farms in Service Solar 4 All™ Projects At Kinsley and Parklands Landfills Will Power 3,500 Homes Annually NEWARK, N.J., PRNewswire-- PSE&G recently put two new landfill solar farms in service as part of the utility's Solar 4 All program. The 10.14 megawatt-dc (MW-dc) Parklands Solar Farm in Bordentown, NJ and the 11.18 MW-dc Kinsley Solar Farm in Deptford, NJ were brought online in late-December 2014 and will supply enough grid-connected solar electricity to power about 3,500 average-size homes annually. These are the two largest centralized solar projects built to date by PSE&G, creating a portfolio of 26 solar farms and 174,000 pole-attached solar units that supply more than 101 MW-dc of electricity. PSE&G has now built seven of its 26 solar farms on either a landfill or a brownfield site. With the addition of the Parkland and Kinsley projects, PSE&G has established itself as the utility leader in landfill/brownfield solar by utilizing more than 110 acres of landfill and brownfield space by installing more than 106,000 solar panels, capable of generating more than 31MW-dc of solar power. This is enough solar power to supply more than 5,000 homes annually. "PSE&G is committed to supporting solar development in New Jersey while also maintaining the state's scarce open space," said Joe Forline, vice president, customer solutions for PSE&G. "Utilizing landfills like Kinsley and Parklands allows us to provide grid-connected renewable energy to our electric customers, increase the amount of solar generation in the state and also give new purpose to land that would otherwise have very limited opportunities for development." … For the entire release, see http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/two-new-pseg-landfill-solar-farms-in-service-300031501.html -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director, Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center 278-A Hope Street Mountain View, CA 94041 Voice: 650-961-8918 or 650-969-1545 Fax: 650-961-8918 LSiegel@cpeo.org http://www.cpeo.org _______________________________________________ Brownfields mailing list Brownfields@lists.cpeo.org http://lists.cpeo.org/listinfo.cgi/brownfields-cpeo.org | |
