Massachusetts Launches SMART Renewable Energy Project

Massachusetts Launches SMART Renewable Energy Project

Agilitus Energy, the largest integrated developer, builder, owner, and operator of distributed energy storage and photovoltaic (PV) systems in the northeastern United States, today announced two Solar Massachusetts renewable energy targets in its pipeline. SMART) Announced important milestones for the project. Accelerate the transition to renewable energy in Bay.

Both projects in Auburn and Hopkinton are classified as community solar programs, participate in the ISO-New England market and generate Massachusetts clean peak certificates. Agilitas Energy is one of the largest SMART program developers in Massachusetts, with these projects featuring 52 MW (MW) of solar power and 27 MW / 81 MW (MWh) of energy storage 7 A SMART project portfolio of two ongoing projects is provided.

The company has completed the construction of the largest utility-scale photovoltaic and battery energy storage system in Auburn, Massachusetts. Currently in commercial operation, the project consists of a 7.3 MW direct current (DC) solar array and a 3.6 MW / 9.5 MWh energy storage system. This will give local consumers access to low-cost electricity and electricity from more than 1,200 households in Massachusetts annually. Hundreds of organizations have signed long-term power purchase agreements that guarantee energy savings over the next 20 years.

Agilitas Energy has also acquired a state-of-the-art PV and energy storage project ready for construction in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The project will serve Eversource with a 5.8 MWDC solar array and a storage capacity of 4 MW / 9 MWh. As part of the project, Agilitus Energy will secure more than 45 acres of open space for permanent protection and will donate more than $ 10,000 to build a parking lot to support access to the on-site trail network.

“Programs like SMART make a significant difference in strengthening cost-effective solar energy development. These projects bring predictable, low-cost clean energy to communities in need. We are confident that it will help. Other states should consider recreating the energy of Massachusetts. We will donate, “said Barrett Bilotta, president of Agilitas Energy. “In line with these policies, we are proud of the solar and storage projects we have built throughout our home state and New England. With recent funding, we have succeeded in utilities and local governments across the United States. I am aiming to reproduce it. “

The company recently raised $ 350 million in a two-step investment from CarVal Investors LP. This funding will fund the nationwide construction of a large pipeline of renewable energy and battery storage systems for Agilitus Energy.

Agilitas Energy is actively constructing or developing several other combined solar and energy storage projects under the SMART program in various towns throughout the Federation and is currently all of its national development. I’m looking for a project at this stage. For more information on how Agilitas Energy can provide energy solutions or act as a project partner, please visit https://agilitasenergy.com/contact/.
