Coast Energy, an independent power producer that develops, owns and operates renewable distributed generation and storage projects for commercial and industrial (C&I) real estate, today announced that it has acquired an 8.6 megawatt project in the Town of Brookhaven on Long Island, New York.
The project site spans almost 35 acres of limited use, capped landfill where over 16,000 solar panels will be constructed using a fixed-tilt, ballasted installation. This clean, renewable solar power plant will feed into the Public Service Enterprise Group – Long Island (PSEG-LI) utility grid. The project will convert an otherwise dormant tract of land into a value-add site for the community that delivers affordable electricity to Long Island residents and creates local job opportunities.
