Standard solar energy has acquired a 5.7 MW landfill solar project in Pennsville, NJ, in partnership with Trinasolar Development Solutions.
The project is under the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities Community Solar Program, with construction expected to begin this year and full completion and operation expected in 2025.
The solar power plant at the Pennsville Landfill is located on the closed Deepwater Generating Station and is part of the Department of Energy’s designated energy community. The Inflation Reduction Act provides enhanced tax benefits for projects that invest in these communities.
“We are excited to embark on this second project development with Trinasolar, this time to transform a landfill into a valuable source of clean energy,” said Mike Streams, Chief Development Officer of Standard Solar.
“This collaboration with Trinasolar in Pennsville is a testament to the power of partnerships and our shared commitment to positively impact communities and advance New Jersey’s sustainable energy goals.”
Trinasolar Development Solutions is the US entity of Trinasolar International System Business Unit.
