Northeast Utilities (NU) said it began a multi-phase procurement process for construction of its large-scale solar energy facilities - the first of its kind in New England. Up to six megawatts of solar facilities would be built - enough to power 6,000 homes. WMECo plans to install up to 3 MW of photovoltaic facilities during 2010 and would begin its solicitation of potential sites in the coming weeks.
WMECo also issued a Request for Qualification to over 100 prospective vendors who may be participating in the initial phase of the program. The RFQ requires the vendors to demonstrate financial stability, a strong safety record and their experience with large-scale solar energy projects.
