Escondido,
CA, USA: enXco Announces Power Purchase Agreement for Solar Project
enXco,
an EDF Energies Nouvelles Company, has been contracted to develop,
construct, own and operate a 1.8 megawatt DC solar photovoltaic
array in an agreement with Hall's Corporation in South Plainfield,
New Jersey. When completed, the solar array will be one of the
largest net-metered installations in the United States.
enXco
will own and operate the system and supply the project's output
to Hall's Corporation under a Power Purchase Agreement on a net-metering
basis. enXco will begin construction shortly and expects the project
will produce energy in early November 2008.
The
roof mounted fixed tilt solar array, to be built on Hall's Warehouses
located on Kentile Road, will consist of approximately 25,000
First Solar modules deployed from EDF EN's global supply agreement
with First Solar. 1.3 MW will be installed at the 501 Kentile
Road facility with the remaining panels on 601 Kentile Road. The
installation is estimated to save Hall's Corp. $1 million in energy
costs over the life of the project. The project will qualify for
New Jersey Renewable Energy Credits which are essential to the
economics of the project.
Atlantic
Solar Assets, a subsidiary of Clean Energy Holdings co-developed
the project with Vanguard Energy Partners, LLC as the installer.
Peter Solomon, Senior Manager Distributed Solar for enXco stated
"enXco is excited to work with Hall's on this important project,
and to help the state of New Jersey in meeting its renewable energy
goals. We are also proud to work with our New Jersey based partners,
and look forward to future solar development opportunities in
the state."
William
Jayne III, owner of Hall's with brothers Bruce and Dale, stated
"I am extremely pleased with the results of our first two solar
installations consisting of 1.4 MW and therefore have decided
to continue to further reduce our carbon footprint with the new
1.8 MW installation."
