Solar Array Moves Middlebury College Closer to 100 Percent Renewable Energy Goal
Representatives from Middlebury College, Encore Renewable Energy, and Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company came together for a ribbon cutting event celebrating the activation of Greenbacker’s 5 MWac solar asset, providing the College with 40% of its total electricity. The solar array is one of the largest in the state with 15,348 solar panels mounted on single axis trackers. “This solar powerplant is one of the first in Vermont that actually tracks the sun from east to west allowing us to generate between 15 and 20 percent more energy, which provides a cheaper cost of electricity for Middlebury,” said Matt Murphy, COO of Greenbacker.
