Multi-million dollar renewable energy project launched
Posted on Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 5:50:38 PM
The Science Applications International Corporation and Carlyle Energy Mezzanine Opportunities Group recently announced they will provide financing for construction of a $225 million biomass project in Plainfield, Connecticut.
SAIC will provide engineering, procurement and construction services for the green energy project, which will create 400 jobs and generate 37.5 megawatts of clean energy, which is enough to power 37,000 homes.
The project has been labeled the Plainfield Renewable Energy biomass project and is expected to be completed by December 2013.
"This project is great news for Plainfield, the region, and the state," said Town of Plainfield First Selectman Paul Sweet. "It will create 400 jobs, bring more than $800,000 per year of tax revenues to the town, and increase the supply of electricity to the region. It represents exactly the type of renewable energy projects that the state should attract."
The project will use wood that is readily available from various sources such as debris, recycled wood pallets and land clearing materials.
Connecticut also recently approved two solar energy projects to help with the state's goal of generating 27 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020, Earth Techling reported.
