Deep in the Pine Barrens is a Project being called the First of its kind. “This is more historic than even I thought it was,” said Governor Phil Murphy (D).
On Friday, Murphy touted His Administration’s investments in Solar Energy at Berkeley Township’s Eagle Solar Field.
It’s a 10MW Project, that the State says is able to power 1,600 Homes. It’s all but complete, turning away from its old life as a Landfill.
“There’s nothing else that’s going to go on top of this. It might as well be solar panels,” said Murphy. “We can do this around the State.”
The 40 acres of Land, went unused for Decades until last year when Construction began, turning this into One of the biggest Community Solar Projects in the State.
“The energy is ready to go this minute,” said Berkeley Mayor John Bacchione. “The switch has been turned on.”
Bacchione says details are being Finalized on how Residents will be able to Sign-Up to receive the Solar Energy.
“This is energy that is renewable energy that’s going to save people in Berkeley Township money,” He said.
Governor Murphy says He will meet with Officials from the State Department of Environmental Protection next week, to take Inventory of other Open Landfills in the State, and consider using them for Future Projects.
