United States utility starts floating solar plant

• New Jersey Resources will certainly host a ribbon reducing ceremony for the 8.9 MW array on Canoe Brook reservoir

New Jersey Resources (NJR) is celebrating progression on among North America's first floating solar arrays.

NJR Clean Energy Ventures will certainly host a ribbon-cutting ceremony with New Jersey American Water today.

Created making use of an innovative floating racking system, the 8.9 MW solar array transforms unutilised space on the Canoe Brook reservoir into a source of clean energy.

The project continues NJR Clean Energy Venture's track record of clean energy financial investments and will offer 95% of the power needs for New Jersey American Water's Canoe Brook Water Treatment Plant, which produces 14 million gallons of alcohol consumption water per day and offers 84,000 customers.
