Public Service Enterprise Group or PSE&G (PEG) announced it has selected four sites and developers for over $50 million in investments in 12 megawatts of grid-connected solar energy.
PSE&G said it hopes to start construction at its sites in Edison, Hamilton, Linden and Trenton this spring, with projects completed this summer and fall. All four ground-mounted solar farms would be among the largest to be developed in New Jersey, with the Hamilton project being the largest in the state and the project in Linden the second largest.
About 150 jobs will be created when installation begins, the company said.
"We're moving ahead with clean energy projects that will put people to work, installing tens of thousands of solar panels that will help the environment and stimulate the economy," said Ralph LaRossa, president and COO of PSE&G.
