Community Energy gets PPA approval for 70 MW solar PV project in Philadelphia
Clean energy developer Community Energy’s 70MW PPA has been approved to power government facilities in Philadelphia.
The PV project, located in Adams County, Pennsylvania, will generate enough electricity to operate 22% of Philadelphia government buildings by 2020.
Adams Solar will sell 100% of its power under a 20-year contract to The Philadelphia Energy Authority, an independent city agency.
The project is expected to generate 156,000 MWh of energy in the first year of operation, eliminating more than 4 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the life of the project.
