Aspen Power has acquired an initial 10 ground-mounted solar projects in northwest Pennsylvania from Sunrise Energy.
These sites, totalling 42MW, are the start of Aspen’s agreement with Sunrise for the development of an 84MW portfolio and represent Aspen’s first phase of its multi-hundred MW Pennsylvania strategy.
The projects’ construction is expected to begin in the coming months.
All of the projects will be net-metered under Pennsylvania’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard Act, allowing Aspen Power to generate energy and sell excess electricity back to the grid.
Dan Gulick, senior vice president at Aspen Power, said: “We are excited to announce the acquisition of these solar projects from Sunrise.
“These projects are a significant step towards our goal of expanding our renewable energy portfolio and providing clean, sustainable energy to communities across Pennsylvania.”
Dave Hommrich, president of Sunrise, added: “We are thrilled to partner with Aspen Power to bring these solar projects online.
“Our shared vision for clean energy and sustainable communities make Aspen Power an ideal partner for Sunrise.”
