Public Service Electric and Gas Company is halfway through the construction of a 12.93MW DC grid-connected community solar farm at the closed L&D Landfill in Burlington County, New Jersey.
Waste Management of New Jersey owns the Landfill and PSE&G will own and operate the solar farm as part of its Solar 4 All Program.
The engineering, procurement and construction contractor for the L&D Solar Farm is Juwi.
The facility will cover more than 50 acres and span the towns of Eastampton, Lumberton and Mount Holly. It will be made up of 41,720 solar panels and will become operational later this year.
PSE&G president and chief operating officer Ralph LaRossa said: “New Jersey’s energy policy clearly supports solar projects like this one that preserve open space while also making solar power available to all of our electric customers, not just those who own their own solar system.”
