Community Solar + Municipalities
A Winning Combination
New Jersey Community Solar
In 2018, Governor Phil Murphy signed Bill A-3723/S-2314 into law. The bill included community solar provisions in the renewable energy omnibus legislation. The bill’s provisions also included offshore wind, rooftop solar, and battery storage.
Property Owners
Municipalities, if you have underutilized land, closed landfills, brownfields, large buildings, or abandoned lots, this is an opportunity to create NEW cashflow while reducing local resident energy bills.
With today's focus on renewable energy sources, your property can be more valuable than ever. You may have an opportunity to generate cash by leasing available property or rooftops for solar development. Community Solar allows the local community to take advantage of tax benefits from solar projects and enjoy reduced electricity rates without having to install or own a solar array on their own property. Even apartment dwellers can save money on their electric bill and support renewable energy. Community Solar is available to all income levels and is particularly valuable for low and moderate-income families and supports environmental justice areas.
For the past 35 years, EDF Renewables has worked with hundreds of communities across the country building long-standing relationships with local leaders and neighbors. Our projects provide jobs, tax revenues, landowner payments and other sources of local economic development. EDF Renewables is committed to our host communities for the life of the project from developer in the early stages to long-term Operations & Maintenance provider.
