Encore Renewable Energy adds rooftop solar to UVM Medical Center in Vermont

Encore Renewable Energy announced the commissioning of a 198-kW solar array on the roof of the UVM Medical Center on Holly Court in Williston, Vermont. The project began generating solar electricity in December 2018. UVM Medical Center will receive net metering credits at a discount, along with a steady stream of lease revenue from an otherwise unused rooftop. Together, these will result in approximately $124,000 of total value to UVM Medical Center over the 25-year life of the system. “The UVM Medical Center is pleased to have worked with Encore Renewable Energy and Sunwealth on this very successful project, the third of its kind for our organization,” said Peter C. Bero, senior project manager at UVM Medical Center. “We value their expertise in making these important renewable energy initiatives come to life.”
