10 Megawatts Of Solar Being Put Into New Jersey Landfill
In Berkeley, New Jersey, the township had a problem that many municipalities across the country are facing with their idle landfills. What do they do with all that wasted space, since most of it is not suitable for redevelopment? As with many townships like Berkeley, once the operations ceased, the town did not have the funds to properly cap the landfill to permanently close it, so the landfill has just been sitting idle and uncapped since 1982.
Ideally, they wanted to be able to cap the landfill and possibly generate some revenue for the township with the land without burdening the local taxpayers to foot the bill. With many green initiatives already in place throughout the township, the solution was apparent to go with a community solar project. So, in 2020, they entered into a public-private partnership with CS Energy to close the landfill and to install 10 MW of community solar on the landfill site.
for awhile now, and once this project is completed, they will have a total of 231 MW of landfill solar projects in“We are excited to once again be working alongside Luminace on this first-of-its-kind project,” said, VP of Development at CS Energy. “Our deep experience in the region, and on landfill solar projects specifically, enabled our team to successfully lead the development and design of this highly complex project while working closely with regulators.
“We are thrilled to have partnered with CS Energy and Luminace to close this landfill at no cost to our taxpayers and residents while also offering more affordable and cleaner sources of energy to our community,” said. “My administration and the Council have set robust goals for resiliency and green initiatives and are pleased to have this outside the box, strategic method for generating revenue for the township on township-owned land.
