The project achieved commercial operations in April 2012. It is fully financed by KDC Solar ACF LLC with Atlantic Coast Freezers, LLC purchasing the kilowatt hour output of the facility through a Power Purchase Agreement. The land that the facility is built on is owned by J&J Real Estate Assoc, LLC and KDC Solar ACF LLC has a lease agreement with the owner.


Atlantic Coast Freezers is excited to obtain the dual benefits of lower electric costs and long term presence in New Jersey with this ground-mounted solar installation. The reduction of our carbon footprint is allowing us to expand our environmental stewardship in the local community and the state.
— Sam Sorbello, Atlantic Coast Freezer President
This behind the meter solar facility is yet another example of the ‘dual economic benefits’ that distributed solar generation can bring to the State of New Jersey, consistent with Governor Christie’s Energy Master Plan. In fact, together with the wildflowers, bees and honey, this represents a ‘triple economic benefit’ by adding the agricultural aspect as well.
— Senator Joe Kyrillos
