Ciel & Terre has entered into a joint venture with BlueWave Solar in the US to deliver floating solar projects in Massachusetts, with intent to expand throughout the US north-east region.
The floating photovoltaic projects are especially important in areas like Massachusetts, where building on manmade ponds and reservoirs solves land use problems and ensures no disruption to the state’s terrestrial habitats while reducing energy costs and bringing clean energy to local businesses and residents.
Ciel & Terre has installed over 230 floatovoltaic projects globally with over 162MW installed in total.
“We are thrilled to work with the world’s leading floatovoltaics provider to bring floatovoltaics to New England,” said John DeVillars, co-founder and chairman of BlueWave Solar.
“BlueWave is pioneering dual-use agrivoltaics and setting high ecological standards for sustainable site development and management. Partnering with Laketricity represents another step in our efforts to partner with those who share our core environmental protection values.”
