Newtown Land Fill Turned Solar System

1 Megawatt Solar System Coming to Newtown 

Virtual Net Metering (VNM) program was approved several years ago by the Connecticut State Legislature and is designed to give towns more control over their energy bills.

Newtown will use four acres of vacant land at the landfill site and will be transforming it into a solar park that will produce an average of 1,500,000 kWh per year of clean electricity. Newtown will apply the credits to the following locations: Municipal Center, Multipurpose Center, Police Department, Public Works Garage, Waste Water Treatment Plant and the Emergency Operations Center.
