Southern Sky Renewable Energy and Warwick turn on new array

Warwick, RI Southern Sky Renewable Energy RI and the city flipped the switch on the city’s second solar array. The array on West Shore Rd. hosts 2,628 panels that are now producing 1 MW of electricity, contributing to the city’s portfolio of renewable energy. In October, a 6.3 MW solar array on Kilvert St. also came online. The city’s solar portfolio with Southern Sky will offset the power used at the city’s municipal buildings and other city locations (10 MW). “The city of Warwick is committed to clean, renewable energy to lessen our dependence on fossil fuels,” said mayor Joseph Solomon. “Our portfolio of solar will offset the energy used at our municipal buildings and generate additional revenue for the City and its taxpayers.”
