Greenskies Clean Focus has completed a 2.32 MW ground mounted solar project in Orange, Connecticut. The energy generated by this project will benefit Connecticut State College and University (CSCU), which is expected to save approximately $6 million in energy costs over a 20-year operational period.

Orange's solar array utilizes Connecticut's Virtual Net Measurement (VNM) program, which allows remote sites to offset their energy consumption at other locations. The VNM contract enables Orange's solar arrays to provide services to two CSCU campuses in New Haven - Gatwick Community College and Southern Connecticut State University.

CSCU President Terrence Cheng said, "CSCU is delighted to continue working with Greenskies and explore further ways to reduce electricity costs for its two campuses. CSCU is committed to exploring ways to utilize clean and sustainable energy through such public-private partnerships, and reducing the operating costs of the entire system. ”

In addition to economic benefits, the system will also generate over 3 million kilowatt hours of clean renewable energy annually.

Ryan Linares, Vice President of Real Estate at Greenskies, stated, "This project represents another step in Connecticut's transition to a clean energy future. By utilizing solutions such as virtual net metering, we are helping institutions like CSCU reduce energy costs and carbon emissions while supporting the state's renewable energy goals. We are very grateful for CSCU's continued cooperation, and have successfully deployed over 14.5 megawatts of distributed solar projects, demonstrating the power of cooperation in promoting sustainable energy solutions
