Constructed using an innovative floating racking system, the 8.9MW solar array turns unutilised space on the Canoe Brook reservoir into a source of clean energy.
The project continues NJR Clean Energy Venture’s track record of clean energy investments and will provide 95% of the power needs for New Jersey American Water’s Canoe Brook Water Treatment Plant, which produces 14 million gallons of drinking water per day and serves 84,000 customers.
