2.2 Megawatts of Solar Coming to Atlantic Cape Community College
Atlantic Cape Cod Community College of Massachusetts will see 2.2 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic solar installed on its Mays Landing and Cape May Court House campuses. Marina Energy, LLC will design, construct, and own the arrays while the college purchases the electricity generated. The college will see a reduction in its electricity costs from 9.8 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to 8 cents per kWh, for a total estimated savings of $1.6 million over the next 15 years. The project will generate up to 48% of the college's total annual electric consumption and includes installations of car ports over four campus parking lots.
