Renewable energy developers Citrine Power, LLC and AC Power, LLC have partnered with Borough of Hopatcong, New Jersey to develop and build a solar power plant on the Borough's capped solid waste landfill.

Following a public request for proposal, the Borough entered into a long-term lease agreement with ACCP NJ Solar, LLC, a joint venture co-owned by AC Power and Citrine Power, to design, permit, interconnect, and build a solar installation on its capped municipal landfill.

The solar system is expected to sell its power to Jersey Central Power and Light, which serves approximately 1.1 million customers in central and northern New Jersey.  The project is already under review at the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) to receive Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) through the New Jersey Solar Act which promotes development of solar facilities on closed landfills in the state.

The solar project will be jointly developed and financed by AC Power and Citrine Power, both experienced commercial and utility scale solar developers in the Northeastern U.S. The project's expected commercial operation date is fourth quarter of 2019.
