The company said that the PA Solar Park will consist of 10,000 PV solar panels arrayed on dual-axis trackers and will produce approximately 16,000,000kWh annually, enough to power 1,450 homes.
The project is expected to be constructed over a five-month period, create 50 full-time and 15 part-time jobs locally during construction and provide over $3m in wages.
Broadlands has worked with the project developer to secure construction financing, solar renewable energy credit purchase agreements, EPC contractor evaluation and selection and overall program management.
Broadlands supported the developer in obtaining a $5.5m grant. The site is located in a Keystone Opportunity Zone, which is a state program to stimulate economic growth in certain areas, helping to create the level of returns required for project financing.
