Innovative Environmental Impact
NT Solar facilitated an investment in the $5.6 million solar investment tax credits (ITCs) generated by Lodestar Energy LLC’s development of a solar photovoltaic (PV) installation built on a parking canopy with a 2 Megawatt (MW) battery storage system located in Lancaster, Massachusetts. Lodestar is an established northeast developer with more than 100 Megawatts (MW) in completed installations. The installation will sell power under the Massachusetts “Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target” or SMART program to the regional school system and local residences. This installation will provide a 10% discount to retail rates for traditional energy.
“We are excited to complete our fifth tax equity financing with NTCIC and are very proud of the work we’ve done as a team to bring new renewable electricity generation to local communities across the northeast.” Said Jack Funk, Managing Partner of Lodestar Energy.
Impacts
Environmental Sustainability
The 5.6 MW installation will generate an estimated 5.8 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year of renewable energy annually, which is equivalent to:
495 homes
Generating electricity to take 495 homes off the grid
4.5 Million Pounds of Coal
Equivalent of burning nearly 4.5 million pounds of coal
5,000 Acres of Forest
Sequesters same amount of carbon as over 5,000 acres of forest
462,000 Gallons of Gas
Offsets emissions from 462,000 gallons of gas annually
