L&D Landfill Solar

The 12.93 MW (DC) L&D Landfill Solar project achieved commercial operation in December 2015.  The project is located in Mt. Holly, New Jersey, and was constructed by JSI Construction Group; the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor.  The L&D Landfill is built on an existing Waste Management owned landfill that decommissioned in the 1980’s. Construction included the use of pour-in-place ballasts, fixed tilt racking, and thousands of PV panels.  Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G) will own and operate the facility, which generates enough power for approximately 2,000 average size homes in New Jersey.
