Largest Single Roof-Mounted Solar Array In The USA
Atlantic City NJ (SPX) Jun 24, 2008 The Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority (ACCVA) has announced that it has awarded Pepco Energy Services a 20-year power purchase agreement with the Atlantic City Convention Center (ACCC) to install the largest single roof-mounted solar array in the United States. "With each step we take, the ACCVA continues to embrace green initiatives and stand at the forefront of the environmental movement," said Jeffrey Vasser, executive director of the ACCVA. "Following Governor Jon S. Corzine's lead in taking a proactive look at environmental issues, our outstanding team has worked in conjunction with Pepco Energy in order to develop this project which allows us to use our natural resources to run the convention center more efficiently." "We congratulate the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority and Pepco Energy Services on their agreement," said President Jeanne Fox of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. "This is an example of the kind of initiatives we hope to see as we transition to the sale or trade of solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) to pay for solar projects." Under the 20-year contract, Pepco Energy Services will build, own, operate and maintain the 2.36-megawatt solar array for the Atlantic City Convention Center. Construction will begin during the month of June and will be completed by December 31, 2008. The Convention Center is operated by the management company SMG. "Pepco Energy Services is excited to be working with the Atlantic City Convention Center on this incredible renewable energy project," said David Weiss, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Energy Services Division of Pepco Energy Services. The solar panel project is the first in a series of initiatives the ACCVA is planning, including participation in the Convene Green Alliance. The ACCVA was invited to participate as a founding member of the Convene Green Alliance, a grass-roots, industry initiative spearheaded by several associations that seek to affect positive environmental practices through national, regional and local outreach and education. As a Convene Green Alliance member, Atlantic City is one of only four destinations including: Charlotte, NC; Nashville, TN; and Richmond, VA.
