亚特兰蒂斯绿色能源得到建造14.4MW新泽西太阳能农场的许可

亚特兰蒂斯绿色能源日前宣布了一项新泽西萨雷姆区Pittsgrove城镇上城区的土地使用权，美国新泽西政府已经最终授权了该90公顷太阳能农场建造计划中两个建筑地址中的第一个地点。而东部地点的建筑有望在明年一季度开始实施
据公司介绍，该太阳能农场的容量将达到14.4MW，这将是目前新泽西得到批准中的太阳能发电厂中最大的一个。
“我们的东部太阳能建筑场地Pittsgrove上城区的太阳能农场得到最终通过，对于直属社区以及新泽西州都是一个划时代的决定。”亚特兰蒂斯绿色能源总裁罗伯特达蒙评论道，
尽管亚特兰蒂斯绿色能源得到了东部场地的最终批准通过，该公司西部场地的422公顷场地依然没有得到Pittsgrove上城区的初审批准。达蒙评论道：“尽管我们遇到了困难，但是公司依然对整个工程的顺利进行充满信心，而且公司将继续对西部场地进行评估并尽快加速该场地的开发进程。

Atlantic Green Power Holding Company has announced that the Land Use Board of Upper Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, New Jersey in the U.S. has granted final site plan approval for the development of the first of two tracts of land under evaluation by the Board for a 90-acre solar farm. Construction on the eastern site is expected to begin in the first quarter of next year.
With the potential to generate up to 14.4 megawatts (MW) of electric power, this would make the site the largest solar energy generation facility to receive final site plan approval in New Jersey to date, says the company.
"Final approval for the development of the eastern site of our Upper Pittsgrove solar farm is a landmark decision for both the immediate community and the state," said Robert Demos, president and CEO of Atlantic Green Power. "We commend the Land Use Board for ensuring the appropriate pathways are in place to support climate-friendly solar development and for recognizing that this utility-scale solar project will not only help meet the state's renewable standards, but will also help us reduce our dependence on fossil fuels as a nation."
Although Atlantic Green Power received final approval for the eastern site, it did not obtain preliminary site plan approval from the Land Use Board for the second 422-acre tract (the western site) in Upper Pittsgrove Township. Demos commented: "Despite this setback, Atlantic Green Power remains confident in the merits of the overall project in Upper Pittsgrove and will continue to evaluate its options to facilitate the development of the western site."
