Initial portfolio of solar projects from Sunrise Energy contribute to Aspen Power’s mission to expand clean energy.

Aspen Power, a leading distributed generation platform dedicated to building the clean energy future, today announced that it has completed six solar projects totaling 25.5 megawatts (MW) direct current (dc) of generation capacity in Pennsylvania. The projects are expected to produce up to 37 million kilowatt-hours electricity in their first year of operation – enough electricity for 5,100 homes annually.

These projects represent the first half of a portfolio Aspen Power acquired from Sunrise Energy, who originated the projects. Aspen Power co-developed the projects in conjunction with Sunrise Energy. Aspen Power’s full portfolio of completed or contracted solar projects in Pennsylvania totals more than 145 MW.

Pennsylvania has set a target of achieving 18% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025. These commercial net metering solar projects will help advance that goal while allowing residents, businesses, and other organizations to participate in the renewable energy future.

The six sites bring roughly 480 jobs to the state through the development, construction and maintenance of the solar systems. The projects also make use of American-made components.

“We’re proud to advance decarbonization together with the team at Sunrise, who have been committed partners in bringing these projects to life,” said Dan Gulick, Senior Vice President, Community Solar, Aspen Power. “Being able to commission projects in the Keystone State is a key element of supporting a sustainable future for all and achieving our goal of gigawatt-scale in the coming years,” he added.

Aspen Power continues to lead the way in the distributed generation sector. To date, Aspen Power has developed or acquired more than 600 renewable energy projects across 26 states in its pursuit to build the clean energy future.
