SunEdison, in collaboration with ISM Solar,
has begun construction of a 4.5MW DC
solar project in Dighton, Massachusetts,
for the Brockton housing authority, serving
around 7,000 low and very low-income
residents.
“We’re seeing strong demand for
SunEdison’s power purchase agreement
solution from entities like the Brockton
housing authority that stand to save
millions of dollars by going solar,” said
Tom Leyden, SunEdison’s vice president of
partner development.
“Working with local development partners
like ISM is a great way for SunEdison to stay
connected to smaller local markets while
maximizing cash efficiency.”
The solar power plant will supply electricity
through a state-wide program called
“virtual net metering”, which allows
customers to enjoy the savings and
environmental benefits of solar even if
they are unable to install a system on site.
The solar system is built in the same region
as the customer, and energy is delivered
over the existing power lines.
Construction is expected to be completed
during the first half of 2016.
