Summary:

• Once completed, the project will showcase a half-MW, commercial scale solar project, and five commercial scale wind turbines working in conjunction to provide on-site power for an essential public good.
• Donate Now - Support the Solar Living Institute "I thinks it's quite remarkable and farsighted in terms of the client, ACUA, to have actually not limited themselves to one form of renewable energy but to have looked at multiple uses and forms of renewable energy, and in my mind, take a pretty aggressive stance in executing both of them."
• The project is located at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) wastewater treatment facility on the coast in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
• Community Energy (CEI) of Pennsylvania was in charge of the wind component while the multi-array solar component was a joint venture between WorldWater & Power Corp. and New Jersey-based Alternity Power, a new division of construction contractor, the Conti Group.
• Under the joint venture agreement, WorldWater & Power designed and engineered the project and supplied all solar-related equipment for the system at the wastewater treatment plant near Atlantic City.
• Each project on its own would be a noteworthy deployment of renewable energy, but all the commercial scale applications working in unison make this a unique and progressive project, said Jyothish Daniel, Vice President of Alternity Power.
• The ACUA took a broad look at the entire campus of the large wastewater treatment facility and determined there were strong reasons to deploy both solar and wind.
• For wind, this area of New Jersey's coast has been identified as one offering some of the best wind resources in the U.S. The total 7.5 MW output of the wind turbines offer the bulk of the hybrid project's on-site power but solar proved a good fit as well since the facility is endowed with considerable open spaces suitable for solar.
