The community solar developer, Clean Energy Collective (CEC), has selected RGS Energy (NASDAQ: RGSE) as the general contractor for the construction of the first community-owned solar facilities located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
RGS Energy will provide engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for two large solar arrays of nearly 1 MW each, owned and operated by CEC.
One will be located in Hadley, Mass., and serve customers of Western Massachusetts Electric Company (WMECo). The other will be deployed in Rehoboth, Mass., to serve National Grid customers. Construction has already begun on the two sites, with interconnection planned for the end of June.
“As the first community-owned solar model in Massachusetts, these projects represent a new enabler for increased solar adoption, where owners of individual solar panels can reduce their home or business electric utility bill with solar power, while at the same time reducing their carbon footprint in a meaningful way,” says Kam Mofid, CEO of RGS Energy.
Both facilities will employ 300W panels, inverters by Advanced Energy, racking from RBI Solar, and monitoring systems provided by Ambient Weather.
“RGS Energy is the ideal partner for us in implementing these facilities,” says CEC President Paul Spencer regarding the solar projects.
