Tioga Energy To Develop 44 Solar Projects in Union

ELIZABETH, NJ-Expected to cut electricity costs in half over 15 years, locations for the systems include firehouses, libraries, and schools.

By Debra Hazel | Updated on May 19, 2011

ELIZABETH, NJ-Tioga Energy has begun development of 3.4 megawatts of solar energy systems at various local government agencies facilities in Union County. The 44 solar electric systems will be located at a variety of county-owned sites throughout the region, including three firehouses, four libraries and schools in seven districts.

Under the terms of the solar power purchase agreements between Tioga Energy and the county agencies, Tioga will own and operate the projects, selling the electricity generated back to the county. The agreement should lower electricity costs by approximately 50% over 15 years. Groundbreaking will begin over the next several months, with all systems expected to be completed by April of 2012.
