Standard Solar acquired the Knox Solar + Storage project from developer EDF Renewables North America and will be the long-term owner.<\/p>\n<p>The project will directly supply the Acton Water District\u2019s micro-filtration treatment plant, its largest electrical load, and will allow it to benefit from discounted clean power and lease revenues from the solar and storage system. The project will also further Massachusetts\u2019 clean energy goals to achieve net zero in 2050.<\/p>\n<p>This project is the second solar installation Standard Solar owns and operates for the Acton Water District. The first is the 4.7-MW solar and 4-MWh storage Lawsbrook Project, also developed by EDF Renewables. The system was constructed on land owned by the Acton Water District, previously disturbed from gravel extraction and part of the W.R. Grace Superfund Site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEDF Renewables is proud to deliver a second project to the Acton Water District in support of their ambitious clean energy goals while also reducing costs,\u201d said Peter Bay, VP of project development for EDF Renewables. \u201cBeyond the significant economic benefits the project will bring to the District, it embodies the intentions of Massachusetts\u2019 SMART Program as it\u2019s located on a superfund site while interconnecting directly to the South Acton Water Treatment Plant.
