United States : WSWMD, PRISTINE SUN inks 25-year contract to build Solar Array
Publish Date : 10-Aug-2015
The Windham Solid Waste Management District has completed its agreement with a solar power developer, which would pave the way for the developer to construct what would finally be one of the biggest solar arrays in the state of Vermont.
A 25-year deal has been signed by WSWMD and Pristine Sun LLC, which would have the solar development company leasing land over a capped landfill from the waste district and funding the 5-megawatt solar project.
The solar array would be constructed by Integrated Solar of Brattleboro and the governments and school districts within the 19 southern Vermont towns that constitute WSWMD would have the first rights to buy the solar energy via Green Mountain Power.
Pristine Sun will pay for the development and own the solar array when it is done, which WSWMD Executive Director Bob Spencer said could be as soon as October 2016.
Were glad to have this phase of the process successfully completed, Spencer said. Were looking forward to the next phase of signing up member towns and school districts for significantly lower cost renewable electricity.
Pristine Sun is excited to finish contracting this project, and begin the next steps in project development, said Cary Hayes, vice president of sales at Pristine Sun. We are extremely grateful that the Windham Solid Waste Management District has chosen Pristine Sun to help create Vermonts largest solar energy project. Were excited for the chance to partner with the Brattleboro community, WSWMD, Integrated Solar and Green Mountain Power to turn this landfill into clean, renewable, affordable energy for Vermont.
