Aspen Power, a distributed generation platform dedicated to building a clean energy future, announces the completion of six solar projects in Pennsylvania.
These projects, totaling 25.5 megawatts (MW) of direct current, will produce up to 37 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in their first year of operation, equivalent to powering 5,100 homes per year.
These projects represent the first half of a portfolio acquired from Sunrise Energy.
Aspen Power co-developed these projects in partnership with Sunrise Energy, bringing the total portfolio of solar projects in Pennsylvania to over 145 MW.
