Solar farm proposed

June 28, 2019 by l

 
“Representatives of Eden Renewables were on hand Wednesday at the Pine Brook Golf Course to answer questions and receive feedback from area residents during an open house on a community solar farm proposed for the site.

Eden Renewables, a Troy based developer of community solar farms, has proposed purchasing approximately 58 acres of the 150 acre former Pine Brook Golf Course located at 280 S. Main St. to construct a solar array with a capacity of 7.5 MWp capable of powering about 1,225 homes.

Project Development Manager Gillian Black explained that the city was selected as a possible location for a solar farm due primarily to the local energy capacity coupled with the existence of an appropriately sized site.

“When we look for projects we look for utility lines, distribution lines that have capacity,” Black said on Wednesday. “Once we find a line that works then we look for suitable properties that are ones that we could either lease or purchase that have enough acreage and are close enough to those distribution lines so that it’s not too costly to connect.”

As part of the project Eden Renewables would upgrade existing power lines as needed to support the solar energy that would be exported from the site and sold to National Grid, feeding the local power grid.”
