CS Energy and Luminace have completed two 5-megawatt (MW) landfill community solar projects, some of the first to close a landfill and build a solar system on top of it, the companies announced in a Sept. 24 press release.
Located in New Jersey, the Berkeley Township Landfill was closed at no cost to the community’s tax payers and residents and is expected to provide clean energy to over 1,800 homes.
The landfill had remained uncapped since the early 1980s when landfill operations had first stopped due to a lack of funds. It was not until 2020 when CS Energy and Berkeley Township entered a public-private partnership to close the landfill and build the solar system.
“In addition to closing this landfill and providing additional revenue for the city, these projects also provide a high-quality solar power plant, cleaner air and significant energy savings to local residents long-term,” said John Ervin, CS Energy’s vice president of development.
With the completion of the two co-located solar projects, CS Energy has now completed over 230 MW of landfill solar projects in the U.S. and 310 MW of solar projects in New Jersey.
CS Energy is an engineering, procurement and construction renewable energy company developing solar and energy storage projects across the U.S. Luminace is a decarbonization-as-a-service provider in the U.S. and Canada.
