Leaders from Middletown, Connecticut, and clean energy stakeholders gathered on November 19 to celebrate the completion of a solar energy project at a former landfill site. Developed by West Hartford-based Verogy, the 809-kWDC solar energy system will generate over 1 million kWh of clean energy annually, enough to power an estimated 105 homes per year.
“Where some see an unused space, we see potential,” said Will Herchel, CEO of Verogy. “Our work with the City of Middletown has turned this former landfill into a productive asset that generates clean energy, reduces carbon emissions, and demonstrates the power of innovative thinking in sustainability. We are proud to help Middletown lead the way in transforming underutilized land into a resource that supports local economies and strengthens the city’s commitment to sustainability.”
The project, located on a 2.5-acre capped landfill, represents a powerful transformation of previously underutilized land into a productive, sustainable energy resource for the community.
