Lodestar Energy Completes Community Solar Project in Concord, New Hampshire, Delivering Clean Energy and Local Benefits
Lodestar Energy, a Connecticut-based developer, owner, and operator of community solar projects, has completed the LSE Ursa Minor community solar project in Concord, New Hampshire. The project, developed in partnership with Brochu Nurseries and Landscaping, was officially marked with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Governor Kelly Ayotte and local officials. The solar farm, constructed with locally sourced Silfab Solar panels, is projected to generate over 9 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean power annually, sufficient to power approximately 1,000 U.S. homes or remove about 1,500 gas-powered cars from the road. The project transformed previously unused land into a productive renewable energy asset and is expected to provide significant public benefits, including over $1 million in local electrical grid upgrades, more than $1 million in city tax revenue, and over $1 million in net metering credits for participating communities, including educational and municipal partners.
