EnergyUnited, in partnership with hep solar, celebrated the commissioning of the Perendale Solar Farm, a new 8.2-megawatt (MW) solar facility off Pudding Ridge Road in Farmington.
The event, on-site, brought together project stakeholders and community leaders to recognize the impact this project will have on the local energy landscape.
The Perendale Solar Farm will generate enough renewable energy to power approximately 1,400 homes annually, reinforcing EnergyUnited’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. This project is part of the EnergyUnited Cooperative’s broader Solar Work Plan, which aims to develop 25 MW of solar energy over the next two years and a greater goal of 100 MW by 2031.
“We are excited to take this important step in our journey toward a brighter energy future,” said Thomas Golden, chief executive officer of EnergyUnited. “The commissioning of the Perendale Solar Farm aligns with our vision of providing safe, affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy to our members. This project is not only a testament to the power of collaboration, but it also highlights our ongoing dedication to advancing renewable energy solutions for the communities we serve.”
The project was managed in partnership with hep solar, the owner and operator of the Perendale Solar Farm, with all energy from the facility being sold exclusively to EnergyUnited.
“We are proud to work alongside EnergyUnited to help expand their renewable energy portfolio,” said Wayne Marshall, president of strategy for hep solar USA. “This project demonstrates how partnerships between innovative, forward-thinking energy companies can deliver tangible benefits to communities through the generation of clean renewable energy.”
