Stamford, Conn., Dec. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Street Power Partners, LLC (GSPP), a national developer and financier of commercial solar, completed construction on a 2.75 MW rooftop solar array in Devens, Mass.

“MassDevelopment welcomes the addition of 2.75 MWs of renewable power supply recently installed by Green Street Power Partners,” said Devens Utilities Manager Jim Moore. “This project increases total photovoltaic distributed generation at Devens to 12.8 MWs, meaning that approximately 15 percent of our total average demand for electric power will now be supplied by renewable resources.”
“This is an exemplary project for our team at Green Street, the positive impact of this project is not just local, but also international” stated Lisa Raffin, CIO at GSPP. “Not only will the project provide Devens, MA with renewable energy, but we were able to repurpose the building’s pre-existing panels by donating them to a local installer who’s working to provide microgrid solar in Puerto Rico.”
