Project Details
Solar & Battery
The Pulpit Hill installation is a 5.9 MW DC solar energy field and 2,000 kW of battery storage located in Massachusetts and NTCIC’s first transaction to be part of the new Massachusetts SMART Program. This incentive encourages developers to democratize electricity consumption by subscribing residential customers to the project and incentivizes the addition of battery storage.
The project developer, Lodestar, is a nationally recognized solar organization with over 65 MW of solar installations currently in operation across the country. This project, which is located in an Opportunity Zone, will sell power to two anchor commercial businesses and multiple residential homes at a reduced rate compared to traditional utilities.
Impacts
Environmental Sustainability
The project is estimated to produce nearly 7,500,000 kWh in the first year of operation based on long term resource data and average precipitation for the region.
The kWh created by this solar installation generates enough energy to:
635 homes
Take 635 homes off the grid for the next 25 years
5.8 Million Pounds of Coal
Offset burning nearly 5.8 million pounds of coal
6,200 Acres of Forest
Sequester same amount of carbon as over 6,200 acres of forest
596,000 Gallons of Gas
