Follow on Google News | CS Energy Completes Construction of New Jersey's Largest Solar PlantThis solar project provides 28.5MW of clean, renewable energy
By: CS Energy As part of the Navy's energy resiliency initiative, the Ben Moreell Solar Farm on NWS Earle was established. Owned by Vitol Green Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of global energy and commodities company Vitol Holdings B.V., the solar project will be tied directly to the local utility grid. In case of emergency, and with further investment, the clean power plant can be modified to power the base, which has a combined workforce of more than 1,500 civilian, military and contractor personnel. "With close to 1 GW of solar capacity installed worldwide, CS Energy is a proven partner for delivering solar power projects that maximize use of the terrain while offering high levels of output," said R. Andrew de Pass, Head of Renewables for Vitol Inc. "Their attention to safety, efficiency and customer service enabled us to deliver the NWS Earle project in record time." CS Energy's efficiency stems in part from its deep experience with designing and building solar and storage projects on U.S. military bases. The NWS Earle plant is one of the firm's largest; in total, CS Energy has installed more than 80 MW of solar energy projects on U.S. bases across the globe. "Having access to reliable, sustainable and renewable sources of energy, like solar power, helps our Navy improve our energy security, operational capability, strategic flexibility and resource availabilities," The Ben Morrell project contributes to New Jersey's 2020 Energy Master Plan, which aims to garner 100 percent of its energy from renewable, carbon-neutral sources by 2050.
