New Jersey Meadowlands Commission builds 700 kW solar array

by Rena Ragimova

The Achievement

The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission, a regional zoning and planning agency in Northern New Jersey, has initiated a set of comprehensive policies and programs across the 14-town Meadowlands District in an ongoing commitment to improve green building infrastructure. In June 2007, the NJMC announced plans for a 700 kilowatt startup solar array on its properties in Lyndhurst.

The Benefit

The array will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1 million pounds, comparable to taking 88 cars off the road each year or planting 136 acres of trees.
