Overview
CI Renew partnered with Middlesex County, NJ to transform county-owned land at the Middlesex Apple Orchard into a thriving solar power facility, significantly advancing the County's sustainability efforts. The 6-megawatt project comprises seven distinct ground-mounted solar arrays, each with its own interconnection to optimize energy delivery. Operational since April 2013, the installation provides approximately 96% of the electricity needs for multiple County facilities, dramatically reducing the County's reliance on traditional grid power.
“This project exemplifies the importance of our alliance with [CI Renew] as we jointly continue to deliver state-of-the-art solar energy facilities which help business, governments and institutions reduce their energy costs."
