Solar Farm Will Be Among the First and Largest of Its Type on the East Coast
Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc.:
When: Thursday, November 12, 2009
11 a.m.
Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc. (Aqua) Chairman Nick DeBenedictis and
President Karl Kyriss will be joined by state and local officials,
Who: and environmental regulators as they break ground on what will
become one of the first and largest solar farms of its kind on the
East Coast.
Aqua Pennsylvania will celebrate the start of construction of a 1.1
megawatt photovoltaic solar farm at its Ingram's Mill Water
Treatment Plant in East Bradford Township, which produces water to
serve the West Chester area. The renewable energy project will use
high-efficiency panels to convert sunlight into useful power;
What: thereby reducing the region's power generation requirements. The $6
million project is partially funded with a $1 million federal
stimulus grant, which is administered through the Pennsylvania
Energy Development Authority (PEDA). Once completed, the farm will
be the second largest solar installation in Pennsylvania and the
largest in Chester County. Among the benefits of the new facility
will be that it:
-- offsets the need for 3,000 barrels of oil each year;
-- avoids the equivalent of 2.6 million car miles each year; and
-- reduces CO2 emissions by 1.4 million pounds each year.
Solar panels will be on-site and may be photographed.
