Ameresco completes solar farm on capped Connecticut landfill

Ameresco and the Town of Bethel, Connecticut, are hosting a ribbon-cutting at the town’s capped landfill to celebrate the completion of the solar photovoltaic facility. The town partnered with Ameresco to develop the solar PV project under a 20-year PPA. Ameresco will operate and maintain the system for the term of the contract to ensure optimal energy production. “For years, town leadership, staff, and community volunteers have been working diligently to identify and implement meaningful energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions. With today’s ribbon-cutting, we celebrate another milestone in our journey to a more sustainable future,” said Matthew Knickerbocker, first selectman, Town of Bethel. “This solar project represents a key piece of our overall community strategy to become more energy efficient and cost-effective in our municipal energy operations.”
