KDC Solar Commences Commercial Operations at the Atlantic Coast Freezers Facility in Vineland, New Jersey
KDC Solar LLC, headquartered in Bedminster, New Jersey, through its wholly owned subsidiary, KDC Solar ACF, has begun commercial operation of a 2.2 MW PV ground-mounted, single-axis tracker solar system at the Atlantic Coast Freezers, LLC property in Vineland, NJ.
The 2.2 megawatt solar system will generate approximately 3.4 million kilowatt hours of solar electricity per year and is designed to supply 100 percent of the electric power needs for the Atlantic Coast Freezers warehouse site, which is owned by J&J Real Estate Associates, LLC.
“Atlantic Coast Freezers is excited to obtain the dual benefits of lower electric costs and long term presence in New Jersey with this ground-mounted solar installation said Sam Sorbello, the company’s President. “The reduction of our carbon footprint is allowing us to expand our environmental stewardship in the local community and the state.”
“We are very pleased to have worked on this project which will supply clean, lower cost, long-term solar energy to Atlantic Coast Freezers,” said Hal Kamine, KDC Solar’s Chief Executive Officer. “The Atlantic Coast Freezers facility is yet another successful model for KDC Solar as it pursues its commitment to “behind-the-meter” solar electric systems for businesses, governments and institutions, which in turn creates or preserves long-term jobs for the state.”
“This behind the meter solar facility is yet another example of the “dual economic benefits” that distributed solar generation can bring to the State of New Jersey, consistent with Governor Christie’s Energy Master Plan. In fact, together with the wildflowers, bees and honey, this represents a “triple economic benefit” by adding the agricultural aspect as well” Senator Joe Kyrillos said.
