Projects will power nearly 1,700 homes annually while providing long‑term community benefits and charitable investment across Delaware.
Dover, De. – TurningPoint Energy (TPE) and Standard Solar today announced they will collaborate to deliver 11.2 megawatts (MW) of community solar in Kent and Sussex counties in Delaware across two projects, expanding access to clean energy statewide.
Scheduled for completion in 2027, this community solar portfolio is a demonstration of both organizations’ commitment to invest in the Delaware community solar market as well as contribute to local charitable organizations.
This portfolio represents the continuation of TPE’s 2022 commitment to invest more than $100 million in projects across the state and marks the first collaboration between these two companies, both recognized as nation-wide leaders in the community solar market.
Located in Harrington and Bridgeville, each of the projects are 5.6-megawatt direct current (MWdc) single-axis tracker systems and are designed to collectively produce approximately 18,875 megawatt-hours (MWh) of clean energy. Together, these projects will power nearly 1,700 homes annually and offset 11,500 metric tons of carbon emissions.
TPE developed the projects, and Standard Solar will own and operate them to deliver long-term benefits for subscribers and local communities. Residents and businesses in the area can subscribe to these community solar projects, thereby lowering their electricity bills without the need to install solar panels on their property. In addition, 15% of the bill savings for the projects will be set aside to benefit low-income customers.
