Kearsarge Energy mounts 3.3-MW solar project on New Hampshire landfill

• Kearsarge Energy and the City of Manchester, New Hampshire, introduced the effective completion as well as business operations for 3.3-MW solar renewable resource project at the Dunbarton Road Closed and Capped Landfill.

The project generates guaranteed energy price financial savings as well as tax profits for the city. The local New Hampshire economy was a huge winner amidst a difficult year; growth and building and construction generated greater than 10,000 person-hours of expert and competent labor and will certainly remain to call for regional maintenance as well as procedures staffing for the following 20+ years with total project costs of around $7 million.

Manchester will get energy savings and also tax profits estimated at greater than $500,000 over 20 years at no cost to the city. The management of Mayor Joyce Craig together with the Manchester Department of Public Works and also the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services drove this project to effective final thought.
