Westford Solar Park
The Challenge
Partnering with the State of Massachusetts and the North Andover based renewable energy company, Nexamp, we set out to create the largest, privately owned solar plant in Massachusetts.
The Process
The Results
The Westford Solar Park was unveiled in 2012 and provides clean, renewable electricity to 600 homes in Westford, Massachusetts, in addition to electricity cost savings to two universities MIT Lincoln Labs and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. It has created 50 new jobs within the community.
Within the first 12 Months, the project has generated the equivalent of 451,505 gallons of gas saved, and 100,334 trees planted. Over the next 20 years, it is expected to displace the burning of 100,000 tons of coal, equivalent to a line of 10ton trucks stretching end to end from Boston to Worcester.
This facility will not only create clean, environmentally friendly energy for consumers, but will also improve the local economy by creating new jobs.
