Encore Renewable Energyhas hosted an event in partnership with the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire (CPCNH) this week to commemorate the Poverty Plains Solar Project, consisting of a 4.99-megawatt ground-mounted solar energy system that will deliver affordable energy to eleven communities across the state.

The event celebrated the project as solar racking and modules are being installed onsite. The array, developed and owned by Encore Renewable Energy, is transforming a former gravel pit into a source of clean, locally generated electricity for public institutions across the state.

“New Hampshire has a great deal of potential when it comes to capitalising on the energy solutions, and Poverty Plains Solar is proof of what is possible” said Chad Farrell, Founder & co-CEO of Encore Renewable Energy. “From lowering electricity rates, to revitalising a previously developed gravel pit, this project is contributing to a more resilient and affordable energy future for the Granite State.”

Once operational, the array will deliver electricity bill savings, in the form of cash payments, to participating public entities in eleven CPCNH Member Communities through New Hampshire’s Group Net Metering programme. The array will be New Hampshire’s largest solar project at the time of its completion.

“This project is a substantial win for our member communities, producing nearly $5 million in member benefits that will help us to provide lower, more stable electric rates” added Mark Bolinger, Director of Projects and Programs for CPCNH. “Communities across the state want to take advantage of locally generated renewable energy, and this project is proof that this is possible.”

Encore also celebrated a $20,000 community impact donation to the Warner Beautification Committee at the event, which will support Warner’s safety and aesthetics through botanical and infrastructural improvements. This donation is part of Encore’s newly-established Community Impact Programme to support community initiatives with every project they build, and contributes to the company’s broader mission to be a trusted partner for all stakeholders associated with the projects they develop and deliver.
