The project, which will feature around 12,830 6.5-by-3 photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, will be located on 23 acres of Shirley Water District land.
The project, which is expected to deliver around 4,800MWh of electricity annually to the Deven’s Utilities Department, a subsidiary of MassDevelopment, is expected to be commissioned and operational by end of June, 2014.
Empower Energies CEO Len Jornlin said the projects like this one are characterised by a complex set of transactions, followed by the interaction of an array of companies with disparate but interdependent skill sets.
"It enabled us to connect the dots, and help our co-developer EPG Solar to get the project over the finish line for Green States Energy and the Town of Shirley," Jornlin added.
